I'm just about sick of it, actually. I've been hauling myself out there for 6 months straight with the 9.25 and don't feel like I'm making much headway.
I've little by little fixed those areas which are under my control (collimation, dew, etc) but my images remain disappointing. I might have to concede defeat.
I'm at that point where I'm wondering whether further expenditure is going to leave me even more depressed?
Sorry mate, but you asked 
I can feel a clearance sale coming on. Expressions of interest are welcome. |
Hey Matt, I can understand that. I've had a few patches when I thought like tossing it in as I wasn't getting anywhere, and that's with Brisbane seeing which I suspect, given our more sub-tropical locale, is likely to fare better over the year than Canberra (I could make all sorts of jokes here about hot air, but I'm sure you've heard 'em all before).
Maybe the winter is when it all comes together for Canberra? Reckon I'd struggle with it though... I'm still imaging up here in a T-shirt, though I've been forced to wear jeans instead of shorts the last couple time out - it's hell!
Anyway, hope you can stick it a while longer - it only takes one night of good seeing to get you going again and make those mountains into speedbumps

cheers,
