Thanks Paul,
Well, It's Sunday morning, 12th March...last two night have been cloudy so no progress, except for the rising blood pressure caused by the mass of clouds i could see moving in last night!
HAhAHA
I'll be targetting the following "challenges" next: descent south polar alignment, experimenting with cameras available to me now (rigged up security CCDs, Sony handycam, S7000 (girlfriend's) and Nikon D100 (friend's) until I make a final jump into cooled CCD. Next will come issues like micro/robo focusser sort of thing but i think I need to wait until I have selected a cooled CCD before working out the most appropriate computer controlled focusser for the 9.25. I'll hae to set up my webpage to include pics I take over time.
There are also plans to open up my roaming range: I will be able to move away from the desktop beast as soon as the girlfriend buys me ...(cough) herself that new laptop she thinks she needs (

)...
Cheers
Spearo
