Next thing we know Rob will be trading
his XW's on a QHY8.
Good news the 16 will be back together soon.
I was going to have bit of a session, but
one step outside into that freezing wind
sent me back inside to have a scotch instead.
Cheers, all.

Yes
my processing skills are extremely basic. I’ve attached another I
tried
to
remove more of the background digital noise. I’m using fairly short
exposures
but the ISO was up at 1600 which will introduced a bit of
noise.
Was
hoping to have another go tonight but she is blowing a gale out
there
at
present.
Got
a call from Isaac today, my mirror is finished and ready to freight
back.
With
any luck they picked it up today and it will be back up here
tomorrow.
If
so I shoot over to Goonellabah and pick it up. So get ready for a wet
weekend
: (
Cheers,CS

Hi Rob,
That looks pretty good, tracking seems
OK.
There seems to be a bit of what I suppose
is
"digital noise" - if that's the right term
-
in the background. Just need a minus
10 degree refrigeration unit - just
joking.
Well done.
Beware the lure of the Dark Side .....
Cheers, Paul.

A
few days ago I setup my EQ5 mount to do some solar observing and
was
surprise
I got the alignment spot on, tracking the sun all day without adjustment.
So
that night I thought I might throw the camera on it and try a bit of imagining.
But
by evening it started raining so the mount got covered and sat there for
a
few
days. Last night it amazingly cleared up beautifully but then the
dang
neighbour
(not Vince) lit a fire to burn off some rubbish after dark
sending
smoke
right across my yard Grrrrr!!!! which eventually died down
later.
Anyways
I managed my first ever DSO image, a series of 10 x 2 minute exposures
of
the Helix. Not the greatest but I was pretty happy how it turned out. Took a
bunch
of SMC but once I got them on the lappy the focus was out.
hope
you all are keeping dry.
Cheers,CS
