Out of hibernation

[mightymonoped]

Well..that's what it seems like. Haven't really been out at all during the summer, just staring at clouds.

I did manage to strip down and re-grease the EQ5 so this was my first chance to try it out.

Seemed to work just fine, though I did forget to check if the webcam was capturing in colour...doh!

I think one of the big advantages of using the driven mount is that I can now use 5 fps as I no longer need to chase the image across the screen when processing

Anyways, here's last nights little experiment

Hi Tony, how nice to hear from you again.

You certainly haven't forgotten how to use the gear, as those images are 'spot on'.

Nice work!!

Thank for your kind word all, it's nice to be back (even if I have been lurking all Summer)

Looking forward to some nice long cold clear nights....

Hi Tony,

Great pair of images, I especially liked the mosaic - so much detail in there.

Cheers,

Ian
