[QUOTE="BF Hammer, post: 770956, member: 48483"] Southern Wisconsin had clear skies, I was out until some mist started. Nothing to see except a few spectacular meteors. One was nearly a fireball, but it was in-between exposures of my camera. But no green glowy stuff. I did have a backup plan. I've been burned by these forecasts before. Had a 2nd camera, telephoto lens ready, and my tracking mount. Heart and Soul nebulas were the plan. But in the middle of doing a 2-star calibration of my tracking mount my D7000 battery ran out of power while I was tethered to my notebook PC and in LiveView to see the star I was trying to center in frame. After changing battery, it was stuck in "ERR" and of course in the dark nothing is an obvious fix. It was after I got home that I pushed the shutter release button and the shutter then closed and camera worked again. I really need to remember that for the next time. [/QUOTE]
