Hi H0ughy
Okay – you’ve forced me to fess up, once again.
I was showing Dave how the HW (ST7E) and SW (CCDSoft) worked and in the process, checked the box that says “Save every image” and explained how important this was…….
Later, much later that night, I grabbed 12 x 5 min images of NGC6744 which auto guided beautifully, only that somewhere along the line, I had unchecked the vital checkbox so instead of 12x5=60 mins, all I had was 1x5=5mins.
Now Mr. H0ugh is quite a clever man and brought some good ideas with him from NSW. One was his Poncho – very Mexican Amigo! So, I looked at my TeleGizmo tripod cover and promptly slipped it over my head and voila, I too had a Poncho. However, the cover is silvered and looks quite spacey and as you can all guess, the acerbic comments and cruel wit of the IIS team were given full flow in my direction.
Gee, I hate these confessionals!
Cheers
Dennis
