thanks Alan, hope you had a good session mate and your eye is feeling better. I had a good night doing vis and imaging apart from when I started imaging the Pleiades my mount had a funny fit and would let me get any morethan 20 sec subs without the stars being ovel, think it might need greasing ive had it 2 years and havnt had to fiddle with it yet and it was not much above freezing lastnight. clear skys, charl.

Good to hear you had some fun last night, sorry to hear about your mount having a fit, no doubt you will get it sorted.

Good luck mate.
