The rig is up and running, busily testing a new lens for my DSLR - a catadioptric 1000mm monster.

I'd forgotten how difficult manual focusing is, and how slow the DSLR is to transfer images to the laptop. These fancy toys like EAFs and USB3-equipped astro-cams have spoilt me.

It's clear and (for me) very cold outside - heading for a low of 1, 0 or -1, depending on which forecast I look at, so I'm huddled inside trying to stay warm.

Alex - how did the prawn puff pastry cooking go? Did they turn out edible?

Cheers,
