ollypenrice Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 Pooh, had to scrap over an hour's worth of 3.5 hours of Lum on this one. Wind! 40 mins per channel binned colour, Meade 127 Atik 16HR.A visiting AP900 was also in trouble so the EQ6 did well in the circumstances. The wind just blasted in sudden gusts once every five minutes. Curses filled the night air in several languages...(Dutch is particularly expressive, I find!)Olly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamsp123 Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 Sorry to hear your about your troubles, I would like some clear bl$$dy skies wind or no but - no prefered:oNice picture though.Russian is a good earthy language to curse in I believe with virtually no chance of bystanders understanding a word.

roundycat Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 Yob tvoyu mat!! Sorry if anyone understands that. The thought of a multi lingual cussing competition sounds more interesting than astrophotography. One thing Olly, if it is windy there is usually no chance of dewing so you can put the dew shield away and maybe have less bother from the wind.Dennis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ollypenrice Posted February 27, 2009 Author Share Posted February 27, 2009 Good point, Dennis - though on this occasion we were getting sudden short blasts which simply scrapped the exposure on the spot.Olly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
