Thanks muchly, Marc. Actually that was close to the end of the good run. We seem to have developed an intermittent fault, manifesting as a comms errors between the computer and the rest of the observatory equipment. We unplugged and replugged all the relevant cables, speculating that it could be high contact resistance and cooling weather. Got a good 9 hours of data after that, and confirmed that H-alpha region RCW 79 in Centaurus has negligible OIII or SII.
