Hiya Ken!

Yep, I reckon it should be fun learning how to use it. I'm not expecting much success, since I only have a cheap & wobbly GEM and I need to learn how to setup & use the software(s). But I'd rather start now so that when I get a good platform I can at least hit the ground running so to speak... Not sure, but I think the slow exposure is set from the software? What are u using to drive it?

I pick mine up tomorrow hehe...

Woke up at 3.30am last night & couldn't get back to sleep - as happens occasionally these days. But a good excuse to take the scope out. Had a nice view of Saturn, which was just passing by the Beehive so I took my first look at that too. Also got a good glimpse of 47 Tuc before the dawn came on.
