Day 5
Unlike day one of observing I was not the first one up. I awoke about 1 o'clock and ate some breakfast. Then we proceeded to hike up to the top of mount Bigelow. This view was absolutely amazing. The hike itself was pretty easy however the thin air did not really help. After we got back it was time to open the dome and around six start imaging Jupiter. Jupiter went really well the night was clear and the seeing was good. After that it was time to image our Nebula. The seeing was again great and our spot size was around 3.8 to 4.0. The pictures we took looked amazing. After we were done I decided to take a short nap. Well this backfired because me phone ended up below my bed and I did not hear my alarm. Instead of waking up at 3 I woke up at 5:30. By this time Saturn imaging was over and it was time for bed.

You missed us searching in vain for saturn for an hour, then less than an hour of imaging (most of which were waaay out of focus)
