A problem with any astronomical set-up is the time it takes to get it right.

So here I am with what appears (to an unaided eye) to be good seeing and Saturn is up, but I don’t want to take apart the CCD set-up to use the Web Cam.

I faced the same thing a year ago when I took the refractor off of the mount and put the SCT back. It was months before I got the whole set-up working again. And the refractor set-up worked well. It was not suited to galaxy pictures, and Winter is the season of galaxies.

I got NGC 2903 on Saturday, Moon somewhat bright, seeing pretty good. The test image is nice. I’ll post it when it’s done.
