No moon or clouds last night. I was able to capture the Monkey Head nebula (NGC 2175). It's a little hard to see but if you zoom in, you can see that it looks like a monkey looking down and slightly right. A bit of the suburban light polution is creeping in to the bottom third of the image. Stacked from a little over an hour’s worth of 10 sec. exposures.

Last night, we saw Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass in concert in Atlanta's Symphony Hall. He’s been making music since before I was born and turns 91 today! The concert was excellent and he can still belt out the songs.

Had another clear, cool night. I was able to get the Orion Nebula (M-42) and the moon with my #Seestar S30 Pro. The nebula is from a 5 minute/10 second stack of images and the moon is a single shot. The moon was very bright and blotted out all but the brightest stars.

First clear night with comfortable temps since I got my #Seestar S30 Pro. First image that I got was of NGC 2244, the Rosette Nebula. So far, I'm impressed!

Tis the season for upgrades. Currently awaiting delivery of a Müller Power Clutch from the Law Abiding Biker store which should be here next Wednesday.

This one required removing the exhaust system to get at the clutch release cover (highlighted in red). Never a quick job but it came off with minimal cursing.

And the end result. Tasty, cheesy and slightly spicy from cayenne pepper and Tabasco sauce.
