M51 and Supernova SN 2011dh

We are moving! In preparation for that, observations, both meteorological and astronomical, will be discontinued.
They will resume once we have settled in at the new location in Tupperville, likely in July.

M51 and Supernova SN 2011dh, 6-Jun-2011 Scope: Orion 200mm Astrograph, f/4 Mount: HEQ5 Guiding: none Imaging Camera: Pentax ISD-DL ISO: 1600 Frames: 30 @ 58s Total Exposure: 29m0s Processing: DSS, Photoshop Distance: 23 Mly   There was a lot of light in the sky, so a lot of background noise, but capturing a supernova was worth it.
