Hi everyone

This is the last in the series of 6" f8 (at last we hear you exclaim) as the telescope is back on it's way to more northern latitudes. Alas, no hardware acquisition this time around:(

Operating remotely over TeamViewer and thanks to some nifty EKOS plate solving, framing and sequencing, we managed two targets. Returning to a dew covered telescope around 06:00 to witness the plough almost overhead. Strange for this time of year.

Am particularly disappointed with m108; the owner commenting upon it looking something akin to having been done on his Celestron. He has a point; I can't explain the lack of detail. What did we do wrong?

Anyway, thanks for looking and here's looking forward to the 10" f5 becoming available, February time.
