Thanks Mike.

I just drove down the F5 for about 100km until I came to a reasonable rest area and setup there. Because its still close to Sydney not many people came in.

On the road I power my mount and dew strap with a 26 AH jumpstarter and the camera and laptop with a 26 AH deep cycle battery from JCAR (90 AUD).
I also have a small 4 AH battery for the Robofocus.

This setup managed to power all my gear from around 8pm until 5am in the morning. I dont use inverters and have a DC/DC power supply for the SBIG and a dick smith DC/DC power supply for the laptop.

The large version has very nice detail.

Thanks Andrew.

Dark skies make all the difference. Maybe from now on I will stick to L RGB in Glebe, for nebulas. I have a Ha filter and want to try my OIII filter as well, then add the Ha to the red channel and the OIII to the green.

Cheers Paul
