Pics or it didn't happen.

There's some pics up in the Lounge, or my gallery. A 1982 10" F6+ with H Widley Optics. Needs some attention, but the optics should be good after a recoat - can't complain for £ 34 ;)

Not too bad tonight, hardly any dew. Its a cracking sky!

Cloud is clearing here and the sky is dark and clear. Forecast is promising clear until 5am - tho believe it when after the event ;)

beautifull so far and seeing has improved in the last 30 mins

Hope you guys got some in, patchy cloud came in down here and thickened gradually over night :( No chance on Jupiter this morning!

Blimey you have one hell of Southerly View don't you ? !

Ha I realize there is Triangulum Australe too!?

It's not bad, but I loose the east to trees - judicious pruning required.

Yes, me too... very busy week at work... and last 12 days with clouds... :/

Try the following:

"Come out here and have a look at the moon lady".

"Oh yes that is lovely man, I am really glad you bought that scope its was an excellent investment given the beautiful views we can now share"

Haha ;)

Gee, thanks for them clouds ;)

Hey its clear down here and I'm hoping to get out a little later - not expecting clouds in these parts til I take delivery (and the following 12 weeks)!

You going to post it for us to see ? :) :)

On its way - just first processed my veil from last night!

can't see anything, been raining all day :(

Just shows I should be thankful for small mercies ;)

Nice, one Jake. Looking forward to seeing what you manage to get out of it!

Cheers Chris - ran smoothly for the first 7 x 300s subs, then the guiding dropped out and the next 13 were terrible. Think I started a bit closer to the meridian than I had realised!

Still got some data and tomorrow night may give another chance to catch some more subs ;)

is that on a discovery

This maybe of some help to you, beemer online catalogue as exploded views so you can see how it goes together.

Thanks Faulksy - it's a 525i SE, E39. Cheers Hobsey - I shall look that up, part ordered for £ 204 at local BMW Dealer ouch!!

Darn it! No data after 40 mins as I'd not cleared an acknowledgement in APT :( Clouds rolling in now, but perhaps a few subs can be captured

what mount are you using? you can achieve 30s with a simple polar alignment, if your guiding, bang out a 5min sub and see how it looks :D

I'm getting too much noise on M27 and M92 - will have to try again dropping the iso down from 800 to 200 ish, though not sure if I will resolve more detail like this - the mount is the heq5 pro with Rowan belt mod, but PA a little suspect and needs some more tuning/drift alignment.

Wohoo! Well done :)
