(The One with the Black Eye Galaxy and Hungry Mosquitoes)

Four HAL members (me, Ken, Kurt, and Sundar) showed up at an impromptu star party last night.

As forecast predicted, the evening cloud gradually dissipated starting at 9 pm. The clear sky continued till 11:30 pm when a huge cluster of clouds moved in from the south. So we started to wrap up and left Alpha Ridge around 12:15 am. Ken volunteered to lock the gate behind me.

I managed to process most of the so-so photons collected from Black Eye Galaxy in a so-so night.

I got quite a few mosquito bites last night. For those who will join the member’s only star party tonight, be prepared to have bug spray at hand.
