We are running out of time on this one......anyone get any data ?????

[Craig & Tammy]

Not from us, David.  We need a "tree reduction" filter (I think Stihl makes one  )  We can't get anything in the SW or W.

[MikeM]

Not from me either. Just one suggestion though (others may differ) is that this target is already past the meridian by the time it gets dark so maybe an object that hasn't transited yet?

Nothing wrong with imaging on the "other side"  The closer to zenith the better for seeing and darkness!!!!

Same Here Craig.....My South and South-South-West are completely blocked by pine trees that have to be about 80 foot.  That's why I had to wait so late to get my B33 last season.  I was planning on imaging this one from Coyle, but, that never happened
