Hi Anthony.

What a difference 50Ks can make, eh?

We've discussed and marveled at that on numerous occasions, haven't we mate

Sure looked like JS on the lappy. Musta been some other localised effect

As far as cooling goes, I'm just working with the standard Lymax cooler and leaving the scope outside for a few hours before imaging to let it stabilise.

But yes, it's always a challenge during winter to 'chase' ambient and I will struggle without active cooling.

Would certainly have contributed to the loss of detail.

Ah well. It's all good fun anyway.

Cheers
