Hi Guys,

Was out trying to get the Lagoon nebula. My tracking was jumping around all over the place. Six to 10 pixel errors and i couldnt work out why. I had spent over an hour polar aligning and 40 minutes focussing. Anyway I took 3 by 5 minute subs and eventually looked at my scope and the lens was absolutely dripping with dew. My usual park location was competely lit up by the lights of Harold Park racetrack, racing night, so off to bicentennial park for this shot, a nice concrete slab only 10 meters from our lovely harbour (maybe thats why there was so much dew, but a good view of the city and the Anzac Bridge), complete with packs of passing drunk teenagers at 2am in the morning . Went to get my dew strap but left it at home. So, typical, three hours wasted. Packed up and went home.

I will catch it next time.
