Very nice, George! Glad to see the Mach 1 up and running.

You're welcome to drop me a PM re the Mach 1 settings in PHD if you have questions... to be honest I don't remember very well what settings I used, I'd just leave them mostly the same with slight tweaks depending on seeing conditions, but I should be able to point you in the right direction at least.

Beautiful George, well framed and tight stars!
How's life in sunny Darwin?

Thanks Andy, the Mach ! helps.
Darwin the same although its been cloudier than usual, must be the new mount and the fireries have been about, a bit more smoke than usual.
