My turn to be red-faced. It was binned. I should have known. It was the first night in ages when there was a bit of sky and I really wanted to make some use of it. True enough I was blown indoors but I came back about midnight and the wind had settled enough to open the roof again.
It was actually the first time I had been able to mate my QHY8 with my ED127 APO. Seeing turned to muck fairly quickly though and I onoy got in 3 x 10 minutes but after all the hassles I have had with equipment failures in the past few months I am grateful to get even something passable.
And so for the sheer unadulterated heck of it, here is an Eta Carina (not much imagination shown I know) but it is enough to tell me that good things are a'comin'.
