G'day all,
Quick snap from last night while doing some more mount testing. This is just 4 x 3 minute exposures. There was a 5th, but it was rudely interrupted by a
BRIGHT METEOR!
Anyhow, the pic...

Discovered my dew heater seems to have died, it was doing odd things like the power indicato turning off when a dew strap was plugged in to it
.. so had to use the hair dryer in the 20 second gap I programmed in between each exposure.
Realised in the morning I had it on F/6.3 rather than F/4 too, so didn't quite get the data I was expecting.. doh.
Roger.
