Thank you Sonny , I'm "Giddy" got 3 nights from a cool front and took advantage of the bottom dropping out on the humidity . I had that mojo working all 3 nights , It's an accomplishment after last years fail to get it on the sensor of my old ccd camera.

My imaging has evaporated due to heat and humidity coming back Jim , it was a pleasant 2 nights out of 3 that the temp. was down 6-10 degrees but, that darn humidity is making it downrite miserable again. I sure would like to try and see what I could do with my 8 in. astrograph but, I can't have ole luna out. I'll keep that in mind maybe next time I'm blessed with a break on the humidity.
