Thanks muchly Marc. We're a bit puzzled as to why the focus star before each sub was about 3.5 pixels FWHM, but the 30 min subs had an FWHM more like 5.7 pixels. Something is going wrong, either with guiding (guide stars were pretty pathetic) or with motor control or just perhaps with the camera itself leaking charge with time.

I'm afraid Mike is going to have his decon radar spiking though

Aye, Colin, we thought that with Strong Mike in Texas we might get away with it. We'd better have another version ready pronto.

Best,
