I have the AG10 to play with now, so naturally I'm inspired by your captures. Finally sorted out the little problems I had with it. Things are looking promising now.

Keep up the awesome work and stay warm.
Cheers Daniel

An AG10 huh? New one? once tuned and if you are lucky enough to get an optically sounds unit, the AG10/12 are arguably the perfect compromise deep sky OTA's IMO.

I remember Canberra in Winter, i travelled there every week for several months for my sons hearing tests/specialists and hearing aid when he was 4, BRRRRRRR
While we get the odd decent dump, luckily we don't get toooo much snow, basically only enough to stay "rather quaint and pretty" when it occurs , rather than being that constant drag that living in a snowy environment could be, like getting bogged in it I get good transparency through winter and the humidity can stay surprisingly low, with minimal frost. Generally the temp drops around 5 deg with the drive up the mountain...I would have thought Lithgow's cold would be pretty similar to Canberra's..?
