Well,
typical for us Astro-heads! As soon as I got polar aligned, in came the cloud and fog!!!!

The Good: The mount and synscan ran faultless, and Toucam was working perfectly.

The Bad: Apart from the fog, I forgot to set the screen resolution in normal mode to 1024x768, then while in Long exposure mode I somehow didn't save the Orion Neb, Omega Cent and Carina shots

All up, all that I ended up with was a 'too small res' Moon pic, and an off centre 47 Tuc

Oh well, I had fun anyway. Just good to know that everything works well. Now for a clear night to try it all again.

1. Small res Moon (normal mode) thru fog
2. Off-centre 47 Tuc (long exposure mode) thru fog
