    hi Dave, has your Quark got any nearer mate ?, weve got a bit of clear heading in from the west tonight "fingers crossed", should be 50/50 tomorrow for most of us. charl.

      Thanks Charl,

      You'd think in this day and age it could be done on the internet, "luckily" the Sun is pretty quiet and too low ATM so hopefully it will get here eventually.

      Then we just have to hope it's been fixed, I remember a couple of posts where peeps have sent their Quark to Daystar for repair and got them returned with the same fault.

      Grey murk here again, had a surprise bit if clear sky last night but I wasn't ready, hadn't recharged the power pack :grin:

      Good news, my brake calipers for the camper van came back today after a month away being refurbished so if we get some decent weather over christmas I can get them refitted and be ready for the next star party.

      Morning Charl,

      It's stuck in UK customs now, they've sent me two sheets of A4 questions none of which seem relevant to an item originally purchased in the UK and returned to the USA for repair under warranty.

      They seem determined to try and charge duty on something out of principal :grin:

      Merry Christmas

      Quark has appeared in UK customs, hope I'm not going to have a fight with them trying to charge duty on it.

      Not sure what's going on, it got there in a couple of days.

      Raining here ATM, could do with a nice day to take some flats on the night time rig, had a couple of clear hours last night and got the autofocus working then it clouded over.

      Hi Charl, according to the tracking number it's still in Chicago, bit weird as it's been there for 6 days now.

      Ordered some guitar stuff from Tennessee, after the Quark started its journey by same carrier and that arrived yesterday.

      Not that I've actually got a view of the Sun now for a couple of weeks.

    Stacking 110 x 10mb CR2 files, with Darks, Flats and Bias. Target is Lovejoy - DSS is not happy, up to about 4 hours processing time:(

      Is there some way to make DSS produce 16bit TIFFs instead of 32bit tiffs 104mb ones, maybe it would go quicker ?
