Awful weather for three weeks. Had to get a new laptop (thank you daughter number one for porviding an old one that, with Windows 10, works like a dream). then the lead acid battery went flat and I discovered the charger didn't...charge.
Anyway, all working, all software on, rushed outside to set up, with one eye on the showery looking clouds scudding across.
Didn't get on with PHD2 at all, so reverting to PHD1. Then the long USB cable is too long for PHD so had to take the laptop outside to get it to connect to the camera..then gave up with guiding!
What with showers, no guiding, clouds, dew, ended up wih 5 x 60 s subs of NGC 891 in Andromeda.
