Thanks Colin. I did 5s exposures in Nebulosity. 103 subs. Seeing was good, quite a warm dewy night, no wind at all. Clouds backwash on and off from the east. Mozzies were fierce. Got hammered, even through the aeroguard.

Greg.

Thanks Greg. I'll get those damn doubles. I can see them now. Still not separate but I'm working on it.

Best,

Thanks Mike. Makes sense. This video stuff is still a little foreign to me so baby steps.

Thanks Ray. I did two videos and indeed it seemed a little sharper.
I have to read up on firecapture and the others and work a few things out. Might even barlow with the FFC and put the AO in the imaging train.
