Monday 8th 60/56F, sunny periods. Plates of cloud from the west. As soon as I had centered on the sunspot the cloud came over.
Back to using SharpCap for guiding instead of constant tracking with manual guidance. Shame about all the cloud!
11.11 The 1.6x T-S GPC is fitted. Fleeting, extreme clarity on the monitor. Every dot and fiber! Capturing it is quite another matter.
The tracking and guiding features are lost with every passing cloud. The drives ought to track features anyway.
11.30 The seeing is going bad. Soft focus and wobbling. I keep making minor adjustment to the mounting. Using the highly magnified image on the screen as a guide helps to avoid overdoing it.
