Looking for Fair Skies

Well, the Roanoke area definitely needed the rain, but the clouds make observing exponentially more difficult. We have just had a passage of a cold front, and the air is cooler and drier. With a waning moon, I might be able to get some good astrophotography time in the next few nights, if the skies cooperate. If I do, the photos will be up here soon. The images I shot of the Rho Ophiuchi region were a bit out of focus, so that night was wasted. Must try not to waste another night relying on the focus of one camera body to work with another camera body. Evidently, the camera bodies are not exactly the same distance to focus, even with the same lens. Lesson learned.
