Here is July's set added to another
sequence. July's image wasn't easy! Weather conspired to
narrow my "month interval window"
I was finally successful on the 26th July. That was after a rapid
repair on a '97 vintage laptop that drives the scope in DOS. This lappy still
manages to fire to life after all these years!
Water had seeped in to
the keyboard and short some keys. Then the imaging monitor decided to
become a fishtank. When I removed it from the dome and held it upside
down, a stream of water poured out of it!
Winter in Adelaide is a cruel, evil mistress.......
The tracking of Proxima is now showing a slight curve. I expected this.
You can also see a background star being resolved that was obscured by
glare in a previous month's image.
August 18-26 will be my last opportunity to get another frame.
A river red gum is going to do me in next time.
