Test run - Saturn 23rd/24th Feb

Hello,

Here is an image of Saturn from 2:00am on 24th February as part of a practice for tonight’s multiple transits – I only hope I can stay awake!

Tak Mewlon 180 F12.
Televue x3 Barlow
DBK21AF04 colour CCD camera
Stack of 526 frames from 900.

The bad news is that after this shot, whilst attempting to collimate the Mewlon, I snapped off the head from one of the Bob’s knobs.

However, it looks like there is a socket head cap screw underneath the knob head, so I’m hoping that I can get to this with an allen key and remove it later today.

Cheers

Dennis
