Title: M13 in Hercules 110512
Post by: Fay on May 13, 2012, 19:55:04
Was not going to post this as i only did it because it was there.

wanted to make sure all was well with the mount  after being outside for so long in this "drought". Well could not get PHD box to move, it went on for hours, in the end deleted PHD & re downloaded, to no avail. On further checks realised the cable was not into the GPUSB box properly, thank the Lord.

Cable snapped on the light panel, good job I had a backup.

Not a lot available in the sky because of trees. So, M13 it was.

Atik 314L, L & cls filters, SW120 10x240, 20x120.
