Thanks Ray, yes it is really only around a 1 hour window each evening. Fortunately I have a reasonably good western horizon.

Thanks Trevor, would certainly recommend you give it a go. The UV filter makes things pretty dim in my 11" with the DMK21AU04 camera, meaning slow capture rate. A 16" scope and sensitive camera would have the potential for some good results.
