Actually Paul, under similar conditions on Saturday evening, I did find a single sharp frame of a double star, albeit somewhat elongated, from a 1200 frame AVI, so the seeing can't be too bad eh!
Bugger all chance here in Sydney. I can't even remember the last time we had clear skies. I'm sure it was before Jupiter was at opposition. Oh well. At least our dams have had some good rain.
As long as it's fine tonight, I'll be out there. I just hope the wind doesn't blow the dome off the observatory. I reacon if I use about a 8 mm lens you won't be able to tell it's bad seeing, anything longer though could be risky.
We've go a severe weather warning out atm for SE Qld. Mainly the Darling Downs, Granite Belt and areas south of Brisvegas. Thought if that damn low down south gets any deeper the etreme windy conditions may extend up to us.
Sorry Paul, the jetstream is my fault. I got a new illuminated reticule eyepiece in the mail yesterday so I can finally try some drift aligning on the EQ6...
well currently at work in rockdale, miserable... i doubt its any better in campbelltown.
you in cooma chris?
Nah - unfortunately not..... at home looking through the window, wishing I could get out just ne night this month to test the freezer suit and do some imaging

don't worry about it Chris. It will be my turn again to take the blame at the end of the month. Big time
