Yep, I know that one now too! I walk around with a blasted after image of the lappy screen in my eyes. Everywhere I look all I can see is the Philips V Record window in negative!!! and trip over cables

Ain't imaging fun!

Yeah, lol!! I thought about gettin' some red plastic or something.....but why bother!? It's not like I'm gunna look thru an EP in the next 5 mins! I lay me cords N stuff in the same place every time now, so I know's where there at!

ballaratdragons (Ken) · #7 10-12-2005, 02:45 AM

LOL! They never warned us about the after image problem when they yak about their imaging nights!

I'm setup now, polar aligned to the best of my ability/saturn on the laptop looks ok. 8/10 seeing still. Scopes now Covered up & waiting for 4am onwards.

davidpretorius · #9 10-12-2005, 04:00 AM

its 4am here, wheres the cheese????

it is raining here, so tonight i should get your weather - yay

fingers crossed for the big blue & saturn!!!

asimov (John) · #10 10-12-2005, 04:06 AM

Raining!?? Damn!

Remind me to look at the jetstream map before opening my trap about it getting better than 8/10! According to that, the jetstream is getting worse by the minute.....& it's right 'cos I'm down to 7/10!! DAMN!!

BTW I have some nice smoked cheddar!?

davidpretorius · #11 10-12-2005, 04:13 AM

raining very hard, has stopped now. littlest "princess in training" thought it would be funny to call out for daddy at 3am . grumbling to myself, down i go and get greeted by a 2 1/2 yr old's beautiful smile, a little hand patting her pillow. i place my head next to her on her pillow, shes says "wuv you" points to the door and says "bye bye, wuv you"

nothing wrong, but i didn't return to the bedroom grumbling, just feeling very chirpy!!!!

now i can't sleep or use my scope, might have to start cutting the base board for the dob driver!!!

asimov (John) · #12 10-12-2005, 04:21 AM
