[rustigsmed]

congrats, awesome work - all that setting up and teething issues you have sorted have paid off!

[Somnium]

Thanks Russell, it was an ordeal but it is now singing, though i have now got the mandatory horrible conditions to limit my imaging time. The last month has been shocking.

By the way Aidan, you know an AAPOD is just an APOD with a stutter.....

:P

[Somnium]

HAHA, i havent submitted anything for APOD yet, i have a target which might qualify but i am struggling to get decent seeing. might not be able to get that one this year.
