First light under Dark skies
Hi folks,
I managed to get out under dark skies under a new moon at a mate's property at Kilmore in country Victoria on the weekend.
After a few issues with persistant clouds and the new dew heater sucking the life out of my battery, and 'scope balance affecting drift alignment in PHd in dec (d'oh), I was able to finally get a series of 10x5min subs & darks of M20 on the SBIG 8300c.
I really wanted 10 min subs but as it was 4.30am by the time I was done, I needed some sleep!
It was nice to get a hitout from somewhere without the suburban light pollution of Melbourne, gee it was cold though!
Your feedback is welcome as always : )
Cheers
Andy
