I’ve had a few hours of clear (ish) skies tonight, although the secondary mirror misted over quite early giving some strange results.  A close inspection of the Atic 16ic also revealed a small fingerprint on the CCD cover. I should be able to clean this with a cotton bud and alcohol, I’m sure I’ve seen something on Jan Timmerman’s site which I’ll have to read again.  The secondary is pretty grubby with plenty of dust as well as condensation so I’ll give this a clean before the next session.

So the results were disapointing but at least I’ve practiced the art again, and the more often I do that, the easier it gets (so I’m told).

Having just looked over my quickly processed results there are none that are good enough to make it to this page (and when you see some that have, you’ll get an idea of how bad they are!).
