Sorry Fred and Jase
It's alright for both of you cause you have observatories but it's just that I'm SOOOOOOOOOO frustrated at the situation I am in these days.
Apart from the equipment "issues" this year, when I had an observatory in Canberra life was just so good, then I sold the property and moved back into the city, so no more dark skies or observatory sure but the skies over Canberra were very predictable and we enjoyed many clear nights and most were at least average seeing with mostly good to excellent seeing so the setup and pulldown task were quite acceptable to fathom. Now I think, hey if I set up I may no sooner be pulling down when the clouds roll in
and the seeing will most likely be crap....?...
..?..err was that the dinner chef again...?
Well, when I get a good night you'll know about it..ok?
Thanks for the kind words of sympathy. I know the images are pretty ordinary but I do "like" imaging and even mediocre images make me happy these days
Oh and Jase I'm not sure where those halo like rings are coming from? They may be the CCD window or the KAI11002 cover slip..? But I need a good clear night to really get to the bottom of them. Like you say they don't bother me that much and may just be something I have to live with like reflector imagers put up with diffraction spikes..?
Mike
Now I know how those UK imagers must feel
