Thanks guys. Yes, good to be back in the saddle again! Naturally, it's been mostly cloudy, misty and rainy with seeing much less than optimal. The moon is now going to be getting in the way too

Anyway, I managed to get 260 "First Light" minutes of luminance on this cute little (6.7 x 4.1 arcmins) galaxy though - see FULL RES image HERE. Seeing was only fair at 2.6 arcsec FWHM (before decon). Heaps of data yet to gather so this one is being added to my "Work in Progress" section.

The system seems to be behaving well (touch wood) and has good collimation.
