15OCT16 - Camera 2

Balloon: High Altitude Science 600gm
Lift Gas: Helium, 60 c.f.
Payload: 850 grams
Altitude: 30,320 meters/99,475 feet
Ascent time: 230 minutes

CAMERA 2 - Canon A1100is with CHDK and HAPpy Intervalometer

This camera suffered from lens fogging at lower altitudes but also delivered some of the best pics once the fogging cleared. This camera shut down before landing, probably because the fogging caused it to use a lot of juice up trying to focus.

Preble County, Ohio Sheriff M. Lumsford was kind enough to call me after finding the payload. Here's his car :)
