I've probably got steadier skies than that right now Mike. Why? It's cloudy and I've got a new mount :lol:

[strongmanmike]

:lol:..yeah probably.

Here is a typical guide plot tonight :) thats ave errors of under 0.2 arc sec!

Mike, awesome conditions and equally awesome mount!

I once had nearly identical guide plot with my EQ6; it turned out I was guiding on a hot pixel...

[Shiraz]

:thumbsup:blimey.... Can you bottle that - I'll buy some.

[Atmos]

Doesn't even look like a guide plot!
The lowest I ever got 0.36" with my EQ6 and even that was only short lived hehe

[strongmanmike]

He he thanks dudes, yeah, a good bottle of single malt steady seeing..be a top seller huh? :lol:

The old Tak NJP may not be great for remote robotic imaging but sheesh, she sure can track and guide!!

So far the gods are smiling on me again tonight :thumbsup: :prey:

The cloud gods are smiling upon me too Mike. I guess I am just surprised that Melbourne doesn't have a monsoon with the arrival of a new piece of astro gear :D

[strongmanmike]

Are you trying out the DDM?

[Atmos]

Would love to! But it's cloudy outside so I am inside trying it out :P

[strongmanmike]

Good stuff, hope the comissioning goes smoothly..like the PE should :P

Things here almost as good as last night, just a bit of high diffuse patchy cloud coming and going occassionally over my field :rolleyes:, the annoying type...,but otherwise pretty happy camper at the moment :)

Looking forward to that galaxy shot with amazing seeing :P
