Cold Winter Night Sky.

Fewer clouds, but the waxing gibbous moon was bright (78% illuminated). For the initial part of the night, the Vespera telescopes were pointed at the moon. After the moon moved to the west, the telescopes were programed to observe a variety of deep sky objects.

Time-lapse video of the night sky with the Vespera telescopes. Best viewed in a dark room in expanded mode.
