I started wrapping an old electric blanket over my telescope and bought myself an electric throw rug. I plan is to convert the throw rug into a dressing gown and get someone to make me a battery pack so I can ditch the cable  |
Howdy neighbour! That's not a bad idea lynkim1, are there any electricians in the house?!
It sucks when the fog rolls in, especially when doing time lapse stuff! Grrrr!
I had almost lost all sensation in my hands last night, the only thing I did notice was whilst collapsing my camera tripod, it felt as though the condensation had frozen over the metal tripod legs!!
I grabbed a few (hundred
) more images last night, I have posted links to the 4 or 5 that were worth editing in the Solar System Imaging section of this forum along with some added ramblings!
