Guiding.. Must be the star-mate mate ....
Thanks for the comment re, Mars. It's mt first this year and I was reasonably happy with it. Seeing was pretty crap, but at that altitude it's probably the best we are gonna see it down here.
Cheers

Yeah I suspect this apparition of Mars will not be quite so good for us southerners. Even when at 40-45 degrees the atmosphere is too disturbed. On top of this it will be along wait until the next good one for us. I will be in late 50's when it next comes up trumps. So I guess we need to make the best of a bad situation. If it was not wintery weather we might have a better shot at it.
