It looks like the imaging system is working great! Tracking is spot on, too. Excellent work.
I'm glad that you're getting some decent weather. I hope it keeps up.

Thanks Phil, a couple of nights ago we had a major thunderstorm and it is the first time in my 30 years in Australia that I felt our house shake and rattle as the thunder claps burst overhead and the back garden filled up with water from the downpour.
A couple of days later, the strong Westerly winds kicked in, making the skies clear and transparent, if a little unsteady in terms of seeing.
One problem I am having is that the mount is tracking so well and I am not auto guiding, so I cannot "dither" my exposures to remove the fixed pattern noise of the CMOS sensor, hence the blotchy background.
Cheers
Dennis
