Thanks, Paul!

I had to bale out from our internet chat, as the wireless connection kept dropping out. Today, I ran a 30m length of Cat 5 cable which I can now connect to from the back garden, adjacent the "super seeing" swimming pool.

The seeing did improve at various times, but I had the strange phenomenon of focus changing between adjacent avi captures, something I haven’t seen before. All the knobs, clamps, grub screws, etc were nice and tight so I’m not sure what was going on.

Also, the focus was incredibly sensitive and critical, such that a short micro-stab on the moto focus button, either way, would turn the image to mush. All in all, a bit of a weird night with the seeing. I guess if I was right on the edge, being further north, you were actually speared by the jet stream.

As I chug through the avi’s, I am finding a few good ones which I hope to post some time later…..after therapy.

Cheers

Dennis
