Mostly cloudy nights at home, but a couple of chances to get new star clusters, and a first emisson nebula as the Milky Way is beginning to rise late in the night.

A trip out to the desert and Anza borrego with some astrophotography before ad after I was photographing the Salton Sea ultramarathon race. Lost a couple of nights to clouds. Strong winds one night, but I had brought my RedCat 51 as a backup scope for widefield imaging in case the winds were too strong to use my Celestron Edge 8.
