Thanks Bob,
Much appreciated
Apart from a waning moon, conditions were pristine that evening. Under my B8 location generally I can only see the southern cross , pointers and the odd bright star in the sky but that night I could make out quite a few faint smaller stars and therefore excellent seeing. The guiding confirmed it , stable and tight for the whole session.
Pity my field of view is restricted from the south east to south west. Objects like the Tarantula and others, only have a short imaging window.
Cheers
Martin
