Thanks George!
	I even guided a couple of shots as long as *four* minutes! The great
thing about Schmidts is you can record so much in such little time. The
comet doesn't have time to move! I like sharp comets against sharp stars,
the Schmidt is one of the few systems to do this without resorting to
digital jiggery-pokery. As for temps, it was around -10C, winds 10-20KM
which decreased during the session. Not bad for Alberta at this time of
year!

Really nice shot John.
Boy, that three minutes of guiding must have been grueling.  :^)
How cold were your temps?
