Programming today is a race between software engineers striving to build bigger and better programs, and the universe trying to produce bigger and better idiots. So far, the universe is winning.

Hi all
In less than ideal conditions I grabbed a couple of sketches in Cassiopeia that I hope you like.
NGC 457
This cluster has a couple of names, official and otherwise, the Owl Cluster, is offical, the ET Cluster is not, I like the ET Cluster. It has a nice orange star sitting at its heart.
M103
Another orange star dominates.
M52
A large cluster that was not enhanced by the seeing, under better conditions I'm sure there is more to see.
The dew and mist became a problem after midnight resulting in fogged up eyepieces.
Thanks for looking.

Would I be correct in thinking that the 2" Dew heater strip was too big for the Plossl Paul? Its safe to double wrap a 1.25" plossl sized EP with the 2" strip according to John Marstiller at DewNot. However if the bigger strip is preventing you from getting your eye comfortable at the EP well.......theres your excuse to get one or two widefields
