Description

Today (Jan 9, 2023) we here in New England are in a couple of mixed partly cloudy/clear days before the next storm hits on the weekend.  Tonight it was supposed to be clear until about 5 am and I had plans to image the California Nebula for several hours and set my alarm for 4 am and try to image the comet C/2022 E3 (ZTF).  But it was not to be.  Clouds rolled in after only 82 minutes on the California nebula.  I started imaging later than usual because I wasn't satisfied with the focus and fiddled with it for nearly an hour.  In the end I didn't improve it and the hour was wasted. I used my Esprit 80 f5 refractor with an L-Extreme filter and my ZWO ASI6200MC camera.
