The night was not a great night. ice fog rolled in throughout the night. Seeing was crap, humidity was very high. All the gear got frosted up. When I finally shut down the corrector plate was totally covered over in frost. If I were to shoot the target over again I would start at 1200 seconds for more detail in the data.
