Last night was much warmer than Friday night, but the seeing was 
poor. The transparency was considerably less than Friday night. I was 
able to get fairly consistent photometry data,however. The reading 
were significantly reduced in value, but steady.

I also got to check out my new auto guider on my 12" LX200 GPS. I'm 
using an Orion guide scope. It's an 80 mm f11.4. The whole set up was 
around $150 (rings, rail and scope).It's a very nice package. I'm 
using the Autostar guiding software and it does work. THe main 
problem s there is very little information about it. THe control 
panel has several buttons that are not mention any place I could 
find. Does anyone have experience with the Meade Auotstar guiding 
software? If so, please contact me directly as I have a bunch of 
questions.
Thanks.

Jeff
