la rosa de california

The scheduler took us right through from 19:15 until dawn, at 05:55. Followed The California up to the meridian at around 02:00, or rather fell asleep whist following but no matter. EKOS then took us to the the rosette, aligned and started to capture 5 minute frames through the rest of the night. Warm. I expected dew, but nada. Good.
