The holiday weekend.
DSLR photometry of R CrB, P Cyg, and CH Cyg. I also wanted to see if I could image SS Cyg since that seems to be star that gets some interest. I got to the point of having my lens at about 200mm focal length, although I don't think I was able to see it and a lot of clouds started to roll in. The magnitude right now is about 11.5, which may be just beyond a resonable level for my to pick up, but I will probably try again.
