Bah, new toy frustration

[Garbz]

Isn't this always the same. You finally get your autoguider in the mail and you're greeted with a cloudy overcast evening.

Naturally your Saturday and Sunday night is booked out too, just to add insult to injury.

:sadeyes:

Don't worry Chris....
I'm sure the rest of us Brisbanites will appreciate your sacrifice...;)
Or bring on the bad weather ourselves...

Cheers,
Ken.

What :eyepop: You mean to say other things take precedence over a clear night :question:

But then again, I had that problem too.......................until my mate took my wife off my hands! Now I can do what I like! :D

I hear you Chris. however my frustration was not the weather tonight. My Melbourne skies are crisp and clear tonight (for a change :lol:). The clouds cleared tonight for me to try out my new DBK41 camera to have a go at Saturn but... earlier on in the evening I extended the primary mirror collimation screws to achieve focus for the camera. Must of measured wrong because I'm out by about 5-10mm. Just on the tip of focus. :mad2::mad2:

Sending some clear skies your way.... ;)

Chris, it is well known that the number of cloudy nights is directly proportional to the dollar amount of recent aquisitions. So considering you just purchased a guider, you are in for 2-3 nights. Just imagine if you slapped down $2k on a new OTA ;)

Interesting, especially given it was not my choice to be booked out on Sunday. :help:
