bit of patience required there Richard, well done.

I gathered about the same amount of data for my deep Helix last year but only used 27hrs worth of it due clouds, seeing, planes, satellites, tracking issues, wind etc...it's a long haul with a portable set-up .
I've been there and done that Mike. It is painful to gather even a quarter of that amount of data using a portable rig that must be set up and torn down for each session.

That's part of why we bought the ranch in the Sierra.

Here's a photo of the systems taken on monday morning just around sunrise. I had just covered them up for the night and then decided to take a snap from my Iphone. Next week I may shoot a photo of them unshrouded so that it will not appear that I am having a KKK rally in my front yard
