About this image

Only image of this mornings occultation before discovering that the tripod and the base plate locking screw had worked loose. Large Screw driver fixed that only to have the warning lights come on to indicate low battery power.Dash indoors for replacements and reassemble and re balance! in time for 64 Tau. Moral of the story .Check for any slight wobble as you put things together and that batteries tend to fade when least expected.
