Shaping up to be another good night for Perth, until midnight anyway.

Tho the BOM forecast for Friday is possible showers, and Partially cloudy for Sat and Sun.... aargh!

Finally got out last night at 11:30
Got the Astrotrac setup and got PA as close as I could.
Tested for widefield at 105mm with a 5 min sub, no guiding, perfectly round stars. Good enough.
Sadly tho, the sub was totally washed out with light pollution.
I then reduced to 2 min subs.
Took 30 subs(1 hour) aimed at Rho Oph. The result was worse than a single 3min sub of the same region from Nannup
One powerball......
