      Sorry to hear that. This week hasn't really been up to much here either. Very clear skies, but the seeing has generally been very rough.

      It all seems to work, but would've been quicker to drive in and pick it up!

      Hehe - got my thermals on too - was pretty nippy last night, so learnt me lesson!

      Guess it'll hit here 4hrs after you - but very wet and squally at the mo.

      Hmmm... I think the Blue might be hit more by moonlight than you think. You've probably got about another 30min before gradients kick in. Im on SII now, before going back to M31 for a Ha top-up.

      I just managed the blue, but green looks very thin now under the moon - I'll capture 20 mins worth then move on and have a crack at Neptune and Uranus - that way I'll be ready for Jupiter if the clouds keep away!

      There may be easier ways to skin a cat, but this has proved to be a right pig!

  21. Elusive Cocoon Nebula!

  22. Up and Running in the New Obs :)

      Cool Indeed and will be fun, but starting to think I've discovered another 'money hole' hobby ;)

      Though it will be nice to learn a bit more and machine a few little bits for mount and camera mods.
