    I dont know!

    I decide to get my 5inch refractor out and on its pier, first time in a while. Lovely sunny day here on the coast. Beautiful blue sky, as you can see on the photograph from this pm. Within literally minutes the sky turned as black as thunder and has remained that way. 'Metcheck clear sky' completely ignored by the weather. This hobby is not for the faint hearted. You can probably work that out for yourself if you noticed my 'tidy' wiring festooned over the scope and its locale. Don't do this at home kids!

      Now, that's a rig! Don't trip over any of those wires, George ;)

      Nice to hear from you Reggie. Hope you are well and keeping safe. I did get to use my kit the following night. Just about perfect weather. Took some video of the new waxing crescent moon which I hope to stack to produce a composite still image. Also captured some video of Venus some through violet wratten filter for stacking. Finished off the night taking still images with my dslr of the two comets lurking about in camelopardalis. For once all my gear worked without the usual glitches. I only fell over once which for me represents a virtually accident free session. Will start processing the data tomorrow. Hopefully I will be able to create a couple of 'ok' images.

      Best regards George
