Yup, astrophotography can be a bit of a money pit but I love a challenge and I thoroughly enjoy being under a night sky with the coyotes, wolves, owls and, not so much, the skunks.

The skunks!
My que!
So I've been dawdling in the backyard. I have Racoons, and a big Owl has come around again.
Trying, then deleting, then waiting for our torrential rain to get the heck out of here. (We have moss growing! In the desert!)
I recently was informed I had a lot of DEC backlash. So I spent some time adjusting that. (PHD2 woes)
Got it!
But then, I think I like the challenge and frustration as much as the picturds.
Yep, I think Forrest Tanaka sez it best: Astrophotography
I've become quite the curmudgeon with my remote operation. I don't have to sit out and shiver, unless I want to. I think I've only deployed my Insulated Carhart's a couple of times this "winter".
I even have a remote camera on my equipment now.
And run everything remotely most of the time.
I'm sucha turd.
Recently, Windows shoved another "Update" at me and when I shut down my mount laptop, it updated. I wound up removing the update, then figuring what it damaged.
And as usual, Windows shot holes in my drivers, PHD2 being one of the casualties.
After removing and reinstalling PHD2, it's fixed again. It took longer to build the new dark files in PHD2 than anything else.
I hate Windows Update. It cripples anything not from the Microsoft Store. Which is about everything that works with any astro programs.
OK, happy to stink up UHH again.
