23:30 – 01:40
Luke and I setup the S30 Pro with the Antlia Triband RGB filter to see what difference it makes.
Meanwhile I have taken the Telegizmo cover off the 180 Mak ready to go after the Moon at midnight and Saturn again after 2:30am.
After waiting for the majority of the “night” as it is, at 10 past 1 I slewed to the Moon and started to image using SharpCap 4.1. The image was not great as the seeing due to the Jet stream being overhead was not ideal, but it gave me a start on re-imaging pieces of the Moon. I managed to at least grab a single stacked image of the 3 large craters at the edge of Mare Nectar’s, namely Theophilus, Cyrillus and Catharina.
I must admit to having problems with remembering how to use the ADC so I will watch a video over the next few days.
Meanwhile the S30 Pro also struggled under the not dark skies but again produced an ok image given the lighting conditions.
