I meant to fetch the brace, of course. I didn't forget the tripod! ----- Forwarded Message ----- From: Joe Bauman <josephmbauman@yahoo.com> To: Utah Astronomy <utah-astronomy@mailman.xmission.com> Sent: Monday, November 7, 2011 12:01 PM Subject: Re: [Utah-astronomy] M77 Actually, fellas, the picture isn't so good but it looks OK at this small scale. I drove to Jerry's and Cindy's, started to set up, and then realize I had forgotten the brace that keeps the tripod legs stable. Driving home for five hours, each way, to fetch the tripod was out of the question. I had to make do without it. This apparently induced wobbles and the pictures were not up to par. But I'll post this one anyway. (The others were even worse.)
