      Perhaps tonight there will be a clear slot between weather fronts. Might be a case of "grab & go".

  3. Uranium235

    Its clear! So let us rock and/or roll!

  4. Uranium235

    All parts have now arrived for the focuser mod, have measured everything and all is looking good.

  5. Uranium235

    guiding tonite... but its a bit windy!

  6. Uranium235

    Good session, good data, and lots of it! Hoping for more tonight.

  7. Uranium235

      Looks like my rant was heard! Now a blue(ish) sky, not great - but perhaps good enough for last minute testing before packing up the gear for SGL9.

  12. Uranium235

    Man-flu...... urgghhh

      Uranium235

      Cheers! Hope to get over this by SGL9

  13. Uranium235

    All systems go - now doing some pre-SGL9 testing. The 130pds and 383L+ are much happier with 2" filters.

  14. Uranium235

    2" filters rock!

      I take it you're enjoying the upgrade :).

      Uranium235

      Ohhh yes :)

      New possibilities have opened up, just waiting for an adaptor from TS. Spacing is over for the SWCC (58mm), the new adaptor should bring that down to about 55.5mm.

  15. Uranium235

    Might as well be cloudy given the sky quality tonight, total soup!

      I think the wind has died down a bit, but will still need to keep an eye on Sat24 in case it rains.
