This is the start of a multi night project for me. The 1st I've tried now the obsy is up and running.

This is one sub only, with the 20mm f4 newt. I'm going to aim for around 5 hours on this should the weather hold.

Wish me luck.

That's very good for just one sub Have you missed off a zero from the "20mm"?

Oops. Quite right. Should have been 200mm.

For one sub, it is good. At f4 and 200mm the scope fair eats photons but it lacks magnification. I've been persevering with it since I got it and I've finally got down to the last few niggles.

Think it may become an almost permanent feature in the obs from now on.

And then the clouds rolled in, leaving me with 20 mins worth of data.

Forecast looking clear for tomorrow, so will add to it I hope.

Anyhows, here's the result with 20 mins.

Nice
