AP140, 4 inch Tak flattener, Apogee U16M camera, FLI filterwheel, Astronomik filters.

1 hour 40 minutes, relatively speaking - poor conditions but probably seeing around 1 arc second CCDsoft focusing said) with clouds hanging around sometimes (thin) and imaging runs interrupted by thick clouds.

Nice one Greg. I hear ya about the clouds. My setup at MRO has been clouded out for 4 weeks, except only one night. I think the AU government needs to send me a award. As soon as I send my scope to Oz it rains and breaks the drought in Victoria!

Wow Greg, what a nice large field. Clouds are like vermin, they just come in and feed on the photons! wink
