Need my old network drive for non-Astro stuff so checked content before deleting. Found this old late 2016 HD desktop capture from very dark site ... town of Leyburn 3 hours from Brisbane. Single 15 second frames with the DSLR in order to avoid the wind bouncing the scope too much. Nearly all are low hanging bright objects, however the last two objects weren't quite "low hanging fruit" being the western and eastern veil. These were single 30 second frames. Its a 28 minute vid as I blab on as usual, but its live ... no gaps. It includes selecting the target, punching it in the hand control, the slew time, the 15 second shutter and then finally see the image in astrotoaster. Still manage to do 15 objects in that 28 minutes though. So still very fast acquisition. Speed the video up to 2x normal (a) to shorten it a bit and (b) to hear me sound like Donald Duck!

G'Day Chris. Hope all your AP going good. I'll have to go check your IIS posts (now I can actually sit without pain, LOL). Yeah, needed the old terabyte drive for my new smart TV as it'll use it like a PVR. But it'll reformat the drive. So I peeked at what I'd stored on it over the years before wiping it. I still haven't sold much gear yet. Havent been really feeling like doing much. Had reno going on and getting tradie quotes and I'm buying all materials so chasing down all the bits needed while being stuffed in the back ... it's taken forever! Still not done. Two months ago it was a struggle to drive, but reasonable mobile now. So anyway .. seeing this old vid ... makes me think maybe I'll keep the fav gear and still get out to do some EAA or even restart the AP journey? We'll see how it goes. Cheers Howie

That really is the best demonstration of EAA that I've seen.
