It could have been worse Rob.. When I was there last, the skies were sensational every night.. However my polar alignment skills were about nil, and my guiding would not work.

So I had 3 nights of cursing my equipment, the skygods, and quietly to myself, the other imagers who were plugging along without issue

hah..
Good to hear you got some good data, I look forward to your M104 and M64 shots!
Yeah mate, This girl can get ANGRY if she doesn't get her way! I figured on her birthday it would probably not be a time to disappear bush for a few days..

I'll be there for the camp later in the year..
