Looked clear before we went into have tea,but came out to see lots of cloud,took till 8.30 pm till it cleared a bit.
Managed to test my newly acquired mod'ed canon 40D,seeing was not great.But had not used any imaging gear for a very long time-the observatory desk top had died,so used lap top to control the gear.
Is there any other options to control auto guiding than orion PHD ? I managed to get it all going.But every so often in would go off the rails,my graph looked horrid.Maybe the Vixen skysensor 2000 and its motors are just to old for all this modern stuff.Even though the graph can look so fine,when magnifying images,I can see the stars are not perfectly round.
Anyhow here is a couple of subs,really pleased with this mod'ed 40D.
