I know some Newcastle Lads are imaging tonight but i don't know how?

I am imaging tonight as is Scott Alder and i suspect Alan Meehan, but i don't know how? its horrible out there even though its clear its so turbulent, my guide star is all over the place - fat stars tonight:mad2:! The temp is about 8 degrees but the wind chill is horrid . this will be the only imaging for a while - apparently a big weather system moving on on us by weekend and rain all next week - no eclipse viewing from here for Thursday 16th?:sadeyes:

Same in Sydney. Transparency very average, moon's blazing but the wind died down now. Everything's twinkling up above but I don't care as I shoot superwide in Ha. That's the only thing you could do tonight I recon. On the upside it's very dry. No dew. :lol:

[h0ughy]

i am just desperate for some data doing m20 hoping to add to data i took last year:question:

[alan meehan]

Its like imaging on a rocky boat ,clear but turbulent is about right
AL :windy:

[h0ughy]

what are you imaging Al?

[alan meehan]

A few more hrs of M16 I HOPE

[jjjnettie]

Enjoy it while you can. I wish you luck.

bugger now the next door neighbour has turned on the floodlights - this is not fair honestly

[multiweb]

Well it's still clear (sort of). No clouds so still going... :whistle:
Transparency is pretty buggered though. Lucky Ha cuts through all that thick smog.

just come in after a early morning session all clear but still turbulent,must be the start of the that weather front coming:(:(.awaiting the sun to rise so i can solar observe all day (can't work for another 2 weeks) going to try new zoom eyepiece in solar mode see how it goes...:thumbsup:

i ended up with problems - win 7 kept disconnecting my dmk guide camera after 30- 40 min use. lost a lot of shots

Did a full nighter until 4:00am. Seeing got better in the morning as it was noticeably terrible most of the night compared to a few days ago. Transparency was a let down though. Very muggy. Plenty of extra subs to process.

How do you do that? I get to 11.30 and I'm cactus.

I managed an hour on M8/M20 with the new (to me) FSQ106N - nice and wide so my stars weren't too overweight

And here's the proof, everyone:):):P

[multiweb]

I sleep when it's cloudy and we got plenty of that lately. :)

[pvelez]

Not bad, but I'm a bit broader than that - the picture is slimming:D
