[Utah-astronomy] How low (Was: anyone going out tonight?)

Hi Dale, 20 is no problem. I've gone deeper than that before. The run I was doing the other night involved short (30 and 60 second) exposures. When working minor planets, especially NEOs like the other night, exposures need to be kept short so the target remains a point source and not a streak.

This is kind of disappointing to hear Patrick. One of the reasons I'm saving up for a 14" edge HD is that I thought the limiting CCD magnitude would be more like magnitude 20.

Clear skies, Dale.
