Merry Christmas!

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas. As is typical for the Pacific Northwest, it's wet and overcast, which unfortunately makes viewing the heavens difficult. It's especially hard when Santa brings lots of astronomical goodies that can't be used until the sun decides to return. Santa was very good to me this year, bringing everything I need to start doing long-exposure astrophotography, including a Celestron HD Pro wedge, a Nexguide autoguider, and a few other things. Here's hoping for clear skies soon!
