There is a repeating theme this week – clear and calm temperatures, for the most part, minus one day. Tonight again was no different and the Moon is now almost at its first quarter. All of my astrophotography equipment was identical to last night’s. The only change, again, was the exposure setting I used in NightCap, which is rapidly going down. Last night I used 1/350 second, tonight was 1/700 second. If I can take the quarter Moon photo tomorrow night, under the near-same conditions, I am sure the exposure will be at 1/1200 second or perhaps much lower.
