The clouds and rain we have been seeing the past couple of weeks have cleared out, and last night I was able to have a view of the night sky for the first time since starting this blog.
We recently acquired a new digital camera, an Nikon Coolpix, that I am not very familiar with. Being the typical male, I did read the manual and set about playing around with the different settings, taking some snapshots of the stars with my wife's tripod. Nothing really came out.
This is a very cheap camera with "auto" settings and I did not get anything to come out. Looks like I better read the manual after all. Since I am recovering from the flu, my time outdoors was very limited.
There was no moon an the atmosphere had little moisture, so the seeing was pretty good. I also spent a few minutes looking for sporadics, but saw nothing of note.
