Hi guys,
Yeah, an Ha filter is on the cards, after the 10:1 focusser. but I'll have to get it in 2" for the camera.
Dew, sometimes, last night was dew free !! no fans required but last week was a nightmare, fans all night.
I'm going to try a Bahtinov at a bright star next and lock the focusser after. Be interested to see your reduction drive setup. I have motors and bits for Africa to DIY something up.
Alignment should be almost unnecessary being permanently setup and when I get guiding going.
Nice thing is I can also move around without disturbing the pier, fully isolated. And last nights session was only for 2 hours, finished at 9:30 mainly because the camera memory was full and both batteries flat !!
Did a bit of visual after, Sombrero, EtaC, Omega C, just back over the imaging targets
Sky looks good for tonight also, depends on SWMBO as to whether I get a chance. batteries are on charge, memory will be formatted. Nice having power and shelter all on line. Network connection is next.
