Just another astro adventure Joe, count your blessings when all is right and you do well cause there are those times when wind plays havoc. Our Perseid night was w/ 35+ mph winds, the next night was at 20 mph and we've had 3 nights now w/ 6 mph. We go up again tomorrow for a run from midnight to dawn, then a couple nights working at the T4 laser station and a long wait for the next new moon. A similar type series of events happened to a friend that bought a CGEM drive, he didn't have the right hardware to mount the adapter to the pier or tripod, the next night the long bolt needed was the wrong thread, he'll try again tomorrow night. And in the head I think October off to the Cooks. A hui ho Rob
