Last night was an absolute cracker in Sydney ‘s south west for imaging ( don’t know about observing though )
No dew
No moon after 9pm
No neighbours lights usually blasting my backyard until midnight
Bortle 7/8
I could see more stars last night than in the past year ( maybe the message is getting through about Sydney’s dreadful light pollution)
Guiding was rock solid at 0.50 to 0.55 arc sec from 6.45pm to 2am when I shut down ( both sides of the meridian)
Using a Newt fl 1000mm
EQ6-R pro ( tuned it myself )
2600MC
Object Centaurus A
Remotely controlled from my Family room
Really enjoyable night !!
Cheers
