I finally got a clear day this month. April has been nothing but clouds and when it's clear enough to take the scope out, by the time it gets dark enough to do a polar alignment it seems the clouds have snuck up behind me causing me to pack it up.

Last night it stayed clear all night. I could have done an all nighter but I was pretty satisfied with some of the targets I captured over the span of 4 hours. I kind of like doing small spurts rather than a long session. It keeps the hobby fresh and more targets available for the next session.

I mostly spent the night updating some Messier targets that I was not happy with from my initial marathon when I was reminded of someone's post on a Facebook group of the Whale Galaxy. I thought I would give it a shot and I was happy with the results.

While looking at The Sky planetarium I noticed that the Crowbar Galaxy was near by and would fit the FOV of the ASI 294 so I slewed to it and went outside to rotate the camera a bit. I am a really big fan of the multiple targets in one shot, especially when it's just two objects. Here is my capture of the Whale and Crowbar galaxies hovering straight up over the house.
