About this image

Two nights observations maximising the mostly dark skies. Since my Wave150i failed and pending replacement under warranty, I have been 2 months out of action so I was straight out on the day the replacement arrived. Friday and Sunday nights were decent for visibility in Burwash, Sussex although it was a little gusty last night I had figured out guiding recalibration settings on the new rig and got decent results.
