NGC 5128 Excellent seeing
Hi,
It's 9:40pm local Adelaide time and this is capture set 1
of hopefully many tonight.
Seeing is awesome ATM and this is Cent A with a large frame
count, my largest yet in good seeing.
Another first tonight, the scope was remote controlled using
Remote Desktop (previously I used VNC) over the existing
house-dome LAN.
With RD I was able to control the scope with a LX200 generic
emulator with ASCOM over serial to the DOS laptop running Bartels
Scope drive.
So it was all done from the warmth of the house.
Previously I used VNC and a handpad extension over fibre optic.
