Rock steady skies over Wallaroo

[strongmanmike (Michael)]

Well, Praaaise the Lord! ...great seeing, guide errors +/- 0.25" all night so far! great for galaxy imaging ....sorry

I've probably got steadier skies than that right now Mike. Why? It's cloudy and I've got a new mount

[strongmanmike (Michael)]

..yeah probably.

Here is a typical guide plot tonight thats ave errors of under 0.2 arc sec!

[Slawomir (Suavi)]

Mike, awesome conditions and equally awesome mount!

I once had nearly identical guide plot with my EQ6; it turned out I was guiding on a hot pixel...

[Shiraz (Ray)]

blimey.... Can you bottle that - I'll buy some.

[Atmos (Colin)]

Doesn't even look like a guide plot!
The lowest I ever got 0.36" with my EQ6 and even that was only short lived hehe

[strongmanmike (Michael)]

He he thanks dudes, yeah, a good bottle of single malt steady seeing..be a top seller huh?

The old Tak NJP may not be great for remote robotic imaging but sheesh, she sure can track and guide!!

So far the gods are smiling on me again tonight

The cloud gods are smiling upon me too Mike. I guess I am just surprised that Melbourne doesn't have a monsoon with the arrival of a new piece of astro gear

Would love to! But it's cloudy outside so I am inside trying it out

Good stuff, hope the comissioning goes smoothly..like the PE should

Things here almost as good as last night, just a bit of high diffuse patchy cloud coming and going occassionally over my field , the annoying type...,but otherwise pretty happy camper at the moment
