and if so - how many nights - for how long each time?
If you have good results it would encourage other people to set up there
and install more powerful telescopes with a large enough aperture
and back focus so that they can use adaptive optics
working at say 10 Hertz on good nights.
You would start to rival pictures from CHART32 on occasions.
The goal should be - what will happen in the next 5 years?
cheers

He he thanks Allan
One step at a time...my observatory build keeps getting delayed due to the weather...and the dome isn't even in Australia yet.
After an almost utopian winter up here, with lots of clear, dark, transparent and steady skies, the current run of pretty shight weather
is becoming a little annoying
Have had
some lovely days though...fitted new handrails to our back steps this week
..and the last photo was taken standing right where the telescope will go
