I've notice lately my c11 takes quite a while to cool down(2hrs+). Ive been putting my c11 upside down to let warm air out the focus tube. I'm sure you'll crack it if you keep at it Bob

Thx for vote Leigh, ,
The seeing and weather, jet stream etc on charts are just Not Right these days, what I reckon anyway
Been watching & monitoring and what happens at the scope is almost opposite to what the charts say
I do roll-away, my Cosmo-Caboose, just as the sun goes down, so scope is in open for a few hours cooling, I may need look at collimation more, but it is rather close, Tho, with your practices on what can be controlled, I could try collimating with scope whilst pointing high at Saturn, incase of mirror flop, but then there is focus movement, I need to get the motorised Moonlight working so can Lock the Mirror, maybe. Hmmm, sorry mate, jacking your thread
I just go out there every clear night, & when I get a half decent Juup on screen, the charts say it completely rubbish, 150+k jet, loads of moisture & wind directions all over the place ?? Go Figure
I could go on, but - Any-the-who, keep at it they say
By The Way Leigh, what camera are you using - a Zwo Asi if my memory serves ?
Looking forward to more images from you
