Hi David

Nice report and great to see it was clear enough in Sydney last night.

Surprised you needed to manually track Jupiter. Did you do a 2 or 3 star alignment prior to viewing? I Thought you would be tracking as long as there is power to it, at least that was how my LX90 worked when I had it a few years ago. Biggest regret in astronomy was selling it. Mind you my 12" go to Dob is pretty cool.
