Gee Leon, Glad it didn't tip and fall on all the gear!!!!!

I was imaging until 3:30am, so 4am was a bit too late to ring me for help

It must have been the Ballarat air last night coz I had a bad start, and you had a bad end!

I started my night at around 8pm but didn't get everything working until 1:30am

First was alignment. My RA setting circle had moved (affects 'Home' position) and I didn't notice until I re-polar aligned and 3 star aligned 4 times!!!! Then none of my 3 cameras would work, and then the lappy crashed. I finally got it all working then the mount froze while supposedly tracking 47Tuc. Re-3 star aligned (5th time), and then all the cameras stopped working again!

Finally by 1:30am all was good.
From then on everything behaved

Hmmm, Ballarat Gremlins hit us maybe

BTW, it was -1.1 last night Not a lot of fun out in the ice trying to sort it all out!!!!
