Well after spending two nights getting my mount a lined with Prempro. It was time to take a photo. Sky clear, Mount tracking like a dream. First shot 20 min light frame great. 2nd 20min red, 3rd 20min green. Everything working great what a night. 4th shot set up 20min blue 15mins into it bloody clouds stuff the rest of the night up. Dont you just love imageing.

I know the feeling Phil, Just got my mount tracking reasonably well, got the 300D taking long exposures after much headscratching, bought a freezer suit for the chilly nights.......and its 15 degrees, total cloud cover and we've had 43mm rain in the last 2 days. Maybe need to sacrifice a chook or summat to appease weather gods

It is always the way Phil, isn't it?

Clear all day, then cloudy at night.
