I'd like to discuss further, partic. colour but have to go. Will get back.

Thanks Robert. Dew straps are attached! So no issue with secondary - I think there was a little dust on the primary that nucleated a little moisture. Have cleaned the primary, and am working on insulating the outside of the tube round the primary (strap and bit of camping mat).

Has a slight yellow cast at least on my screen, but believe me I know how tricky colour balancing is since having my camera modded

Thanks Dunk! Maybe just a little, yellow especially in the stars (compared to some other images) - perhaps I'll have a look at it again.

Just as an aside, apart from variations in camera response, our computer monitors also vary a lot. I have mine calibrated, but I don't know how long that lasts. Maybe I'll check it again ...... sometime.

Yes, looking at others' images it seems there's a little bit of blue reflection, but the reddish emission dominates. But thought there's not much blue in the one I posted, I did make one that was much bluer!

Thanks Kevin!
