high cloud still in newcastle with some clear spots
Just been and got a new sensor lead for the cooled camera after the cord wrap at Duckadang and last night both the illuminated reticled batteried died, matched wit hthe high cloud and a full moon = no drift alignment - will have to do a quick one before 6 50pm on both mounts. All I need is at least 60 seconds of no star trails and I will be a happy man!!
so for me I have a normal canon 400D on the vixen R200SS, an ed80 for viewing strapped to the top, the G11 mount will have the meade 10 LX200R with a 6.3 focal reducer and the cooled canon 350D on top with a 200MM f2.8 lens. no guiding. I will try to upload images when I get a chance for those who might miss out down south.
