This is a short and a bit challenging event. The altitude is 23 at Az=140 in the SE in Ophiuchus in a dense field of the Milky Way. The 0.5s duration will require a short integration. We'll need clean skies and low skylight. It looks like we'll get that, if we stay above the fog layer, as Karl's place and Bonny Doon promise.
