Thanks H. Yes my Celestron 130SLT.

TBH not overly happy with any of them. More data would have been good but I couldn't push for 10 or 15min subs which would have done the trick. For one I started the night trying to figure out why my GOTO wasn't working and my RA drift was twice as fast. I had the whole G11 tripod facing north. I didn't want to undo everything in the dark as I had everything plugged and balanced. So had to power down the camera and rotate the whole loaded rig 180 degrees in situ inside the tent. Painful. Camera did start to fog up slightly too as it was very dewy and I had cut the cooling then re-started it again.
