Thanks to all for joining in and particularly for all the kind words.
If I can being a little joy to another human either by way of some humour or encouragement I am happy.
I would like to think that others, who may feel the game is way beyond them to realise if a crippled old man with a poor education and limited resources (me☺) can manage progress, then they will not find the going as tuff as they may imagine.
Well tonight looks good but I dont hold much hope for the fifty mm lens I purchased however the intervalometer will allow something given I can get long exposures without the lap top.
I will try the fifty again but it seems as if it wont reach focus...hope I am wrong...I must look at the individual subs but I am sure the first looked perfect but blown up the final stack was not good...
Again I could not find sigma octans but managed some exposures before the rain hit.
I have the zwo and 80mm ready but I want to do some long exposure widefields as I still have not gone past 30 second exposues...at least last night I was able to get 3 minutes with a 30 second interval....I think the heq5 should manage 5 minutes unguided if polar is good which with an hour or more total exposure should be nice.
Thanks ti all for being such a decent group of humans.
Alex
