well time for an update

here it is nearly 12 months later, last time I imaged from the observatory was back in August last year. Well I got back into the old girl to set things back up today. I still don't have a imaging PC , that is being rebuilt after it burnt out last week. I have set up the C11 with the new zwo camera and a filter wheel - a new era in imaging ahead for me!!! next to that I have the 127ED with the Lunt 60DS on top and a DMK41. for the guide scope I plan to use the orion50 with a loadstar guider slung off the 127ED looking up the middle of the scopes.

As luck would have it we also have a small amount of Mosquito problem here, millions of them. so much so I have a insectocutor on during the day, at night they are horrendous , so bad that even lathered in aeroguard they drove me out of the observatory tonight also the cloud has come through

still have a long way to go lining up the scopes. LOL I even labelled the filter wheel so I know what number is what filter is in the camera lens. I have a vixen 2.4x barlow direct to the camera - still waiting to use this
