Well the forecast was for the wind to pick up early in the morning and the change to come through this arvo in Melbourne so imaged a bit earlier which paid dividends.
Still experimenting a bit with the AS120MM in terms of the compromise between gain, noise and FPS and the "middle" way seems to be the way to go depending on the seeing.
I think Melbourne weather will get the better of us for the rest of the next week - but Mars is definitely putting on a great show and we are still 7 weeks from opposition so cannot wait.
