I know what you mean with limited time for imaging. Every time I have been to the Warwick property the wind has been blasting or the clouds menacing. Pretty hard to image at long focal lengths with that.

Cross fingers we have better weather over the next couple of weeks. Rain heavy in the morning and clear skies at night.
Thanks Justin, yeah I'm beginning to figure out how to get the most out of Nebulosity. It's a bit of a shame there is no gradient removal, would come in really handy for my wide fields.

What are the skies like at Warwick? I live north of there, pretty much due west of Toowoomba.

I never had much of a problem with wind when using my horse shoe mount (it's rock solid) but recently I got a GEM and at 1200mm FL any wind really mucks it up. I'm looking into adding a ST4 port to the hand piece on my horse shoe mount so that I can set up auto guiding, can't wait
