That bottle looks like it has a light leak. Got a spare sock?

Thanks Mark. Yeah it was alright. We did a bit every night. The only night I didn't image was Wednesday. But all other nights were ok. Some very good ones by the end. Thursday was the best.

That was a bit harsh wasn't it? Making fun of my astro imaging integrated dew prevention system (AIIDPS)

Great wide field image Marc. What's the white smudge on the tent though?

With all of the drinking, was this astro fest or Oktoberfest?

I just envisage a large group of people stumbling around in the dark TRYING to keep their eyes steady in an eye piece

Thanks a lot Geoff. Good catching up with Allan and yourself. Figured out this PI thing. It's all built-in now in the drizzle integration process under CFA. Will email you shortly.

I can think of a couple of wingmen. No man was left behind.
