Starting to enjoy doing it Pete. Trying to find the best way of improving quality. One thing i cant figure out is scope temperature. Night time astronomy means a cool scope. But this is very different. Does the scope perform better early on before it gets hotter. Or does it perform better when warmer. And more stabilized ? Havent figured this out yet ? But good questions 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Presland Posted April 3, 2022 Share Posted April 3, 2022 Not sure either Neil, but getting a balance between Sun altitude and the atmospheric temperature still being cool is something i try to get. As with all astroimaging , there are never any guarantees 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balance between height and temperature. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Presland Posted April 3, 2022 Share Posted April 3, 2022 I do love the whole daytime astronomy, so nice to be mostly warm and not having to be up at a ridiculous time of the night. That said, i love those middle of the night appointments with the gas giants 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesnt sound much but got this last year with less elevation. Jupiter to follow but much higher. Its going to be good. Mars too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am pretty excited by that prospect, especially with the new view that has recently opened up at the bottom of the garden 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
