Well Boys & Girls,
I stayed in Brisbane, and "practiced" in the backyard. The weather certainly looks good (well at least until now as I packup and go to bed) - hope you've had a great night.
I managed to get K3CCDTools sorted for polar alignment and then practiced a bit with imaging of Pleiades and Orion. Still have to get my PHD settings worked out, the graph is up and down like a bride's nightie. I've taken some lights, darks and flats - so I'll have something to process at work on Monday!
Still trying to get my head around the whole process of find object, compose, check focus, find guide star, start guiding, start imaging, take flats, take darks, etc - and hopefully do it efficiently so that valuable time under dark skies isn't wasted!
Hope the storm isn't too bad...
DT
