All the usuals, scope out early, fridge packs on the mirror cell, fan sucking away.

The night looked better than a few nights ago so maybe 6 or 7 /10.

I have been having horrendous problems reinstalling windows xp and norton anti virus and visual studio and office and all the astronomy software and all the data. Anyway after 12 attempts and 4 days later, we were back with a nice clean install. So installed my toucam and qfocus and iris, and went out to play at 3.30am.

Gee the sky was nice.

So take some video 6 in all, saturn in varying gain settings and a couple of jupiter, gee the image is hardly moving, and the cassini division is better than a few nights ago.

Anyway, mirror starts to dew up and i trot inside full of happiness that i have some great data to play with.

Pre processing.............hmmmmm gee the files aren't big, usually they are up around 1gb for 2400 odd frames......hmmmmmm did i change over the default 320 x 200 to 640 x 480.......................aaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrggggg ggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh


No i had not. I had on system reinstall 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,19 & 11, but not 12.

Bugger it, go through the motions and process and see what comes out.......

So, moral of the story, check everything DAVO!

You ****** idiot!
