Objects to be Imaged this Evening: Moon, M81

Images submitted with this report: Colored Image of M42

Problems Encountered: The center of my M42 picture is really bright, so I can’t see any details. Do you know if I should take another picture with lower exposition ? Or If I can change it on Gimp ? Thank you for your help Peter !

MUSK OBSERVATORY

Solar Features Observed: Chromosphere

Images submitted with this report: yes

Problems Encountered: The dome is opening and closing completely, but we haven’t solved the issue of the closing today (we will look at it on Sunday), so for now I am closing it carefully. Do you have any advice for the color imaging of the Sun I sent you ?
