Pretty good night even considering the dew. Saturn looked damn good at 300x with the 12"er. Was wondering whether or not it was worthwhile hanging onto the 5mm radian. Glad I still have it.
The Pineapple Charlotte was a highlight, thanks Al
Think an encoder drowned on the Argo, was a bit iffy during the night and finally threw in the towel and stopped working altogether. Might be a good idea to keep a spare in the kit for those away trips. Still found some nice galaxies and planetries during a tour in Lupus.
Here are a couple versions of the star trail effort. The darker ones have had the frames with white light taken out. The alleged shooting star (I didn't see it) isn't evident.
225-260 30sec exposures F5.6, iso640 at 18mm
Cheers
