Yep know the feeling Mike I was hoping to have it this morning, but gave up at 22:00. Lovely and fresh at 12 deg, crystal clear, hardly a breath of wind and the seeing about 0.1/10. Some of the worst seeing I've tried to image through. It got so bad that Jupiter looked like I still had 2 sec to go on the motorized focuser before it was focused.

When I first set up I took a look through the ToUcam and Jupiter looked very promising (19:00) even though it was still so low. So I thought I'd play with the Sac 4.2 to get the gist of it for a while, while the seeing settled a bit more. Big mistake. I should have grabed the few images I could have in that half hour or so.


I'm glad to see you finally got out and had some fun. It's been a while. How much work was needed to get you mount up and running again?
