thanks guys for the comments, all very much appreciated.
JJJ it was a very nice night but a little windy at times. Those are the breaks though.
Trev I take your point and will reduce timing to reduce blurring.
I have been imaging at 6.5 minutes but could reduce the red time to make up for the blue time.
Steve, while I thank you for the wonderful comment I reckon Trevs image last week was better, or Damians for the last 10 years is worlds beyond mine. If you have not looked at those I encourage you to do so. Trevs is spectacular and Damians images are ones to aspire toward.
Danny you are always welcome. I hope you came away from the night with some nice data to process, but I think the tops of the night was splitting Antares and the companion and seeing the greenish glow of the companion in the diffraction rings of Antares. Or maybe seeing Sirius like I described. Or better still sharing it with my mates.
