Cheers Paul, I have the Orion waiting in the wings, the NJP is out on Besser blocks cemented into the ground and polar aligned...just waiting for the right time, I only just got down here full time on Friday.

This DSLR'ing is a nice time filler though, I have a ways to go to get teh really good shots but so far it has been fun

Nice use of the pond
Ah yes..time lapse, I think I need a remote control for the camera though, don't I.? I do have Max DSLR but haven't used it yet, not sure how useful that is with tripod based work where I am wandering around the place though..?

Yep, and I do feel decidedly lazy these days....I'm sure it is just a phase due all the too'ing and fro'ing I have been doing lately

Cheers Guys
