Moretus and Plato - 10 day old moon

[Dennis]

Hi Alex

That’s great news about the CW’s, although not so good with being at work right now.

The seeing is pretty poor right now; I’m hoping it might improve so I may get some lunar imaging when the Moon gets higher.

Good luck with your session Alex; don’t forget your Standard Operational Procedures in the excitement to get going! Check all locking clamps, grub screws etc., polarity of devices, route the cables nicely and double check all the capture settings!

Cheers

Dennis

yeah... I may not even do any imaging... Just bask in the awesomeness of 11" over 8" for visual...

Hopefully some imaging... but I get to test out my moonlite motorized focuser too!! ohhhhyeah!!
Sigh... even if i get nothing but average average images... it will still be great!
