Yes, that's right. BDO is the name of my new observatory. There are enough noisy dogs in my neighborhood to fill the observatory, so that's the name. Until Karren makes me change it.
Here is a pic I shot two nights ago. Globular cluster M3 in Canes Venatici, on the border of Bootes. It's a bright one that can be seen easily with binoculars, although it will be so tiny that you will mistake it for a star. I shot it with the new Hyperstar 3, C11 Edge, Nikon D5300, on top of the CGEM DX mount. No guiding, no calibration frames, no remote shutter release, nuthin' but me and the rig. Turned out okay. Slight trailing. 30 second exposure X 17 frames at ISO 400. Easy-peasy.
