Re: [APML] First halfway decent cassigrain image

Thanks, Stuart;

I'm not concerned with the cold, I dress well for it, so exposure time
really isn't that big an issue long as I can get into a decent position for
my back. However, standing in knee deep snow would mean I have 'serious'
issues with my observatory (heh). I do have to admit I'm manually guiding
only because I haven't been able to get an autoguider as yet...it's another
entry on 'that' list...I'm not that big a masochist.

Clear skies
