now i do know i have to tweak my polar alignment
however at astrofest i will be free, free to swing it anywhere guiding to my hearts content..........can you possibly imagine the sense of pleasure i will get with 2, 3 , 4, 5 minute imaging
one huge issue is temperature, every 5 degrees means a refocus - and its critical so which i figured is 2h max on every object except the helix, i going to nail that big bad boy and spend 4 0r 5 hours on it with 5 minute subs.
so I hope to have in the bag at least 5 objects a night x 7 nights...... and i can see the farmer Hoggitt saying "that'll do pig, that'll do....."
Your on an imagers winner there Houghy, look forward to seeing an extensive Astrofest portfolio from you, enjoy
...I'll come
one
day
