The sky was rather cloudy at the beginning, but then during the night the cirrus clouds have gradually to decrease, giving us an interesting sky, and giving us chance to effetturare several photos is to fire Newton telescope, that even the Borg to f4.
Elio had a gorgeous Canon "full frame 5D Mark series, which proved to be significant for almost no grain at 1600 ISO, but we've seen to behave very well even at ISO 6400 ( get to 25,000!), while Matthew had with him his Nikon D300, already tested before.
Elio then was in his car (even better to say his brother Gino!) Several shots outside the observatory, with the sky that was changing all the time for the dance of the cirrus .
domes we started with a few clicks of the area of \u200b\u200bthe Orion Neboli made in detail by Matthew and off the field with the Canon of helium. When shooting off the field there has been passage of a satellite (?) would be interesting to see that passing objects in the sky at about 23 in a "swarm" in transit from east to west.
Orion After we directed to the Pleiades, which the Borg note with the sum of 10 exposures of 30 "nebulosity which surrounds them. Then we tried a few shots of Neboli Rosetta, but that the cirrus clouds made pocca attractive.
Then we had a great ride to the Great Bear, where we waited for M 106 and M81, the latter with its very interesting spiral structure facing forward, even if difficult to shoot short exposures ...
Then we closed the evening moving on to the M46 is pretty much direct heat, dominated by the planetary nebula, both wide-field, with a dense field of stars in which the right there is also the storage M47.
at 1: 45 with the moon already high, we closed the comments, from the temperature of a car that recorded freezing - 6 ° C temperature. Then back home with still see the beauty of the winter sky that has graced this relaxed evening of observations of year-end.
