After an awful 2+ month run of weather in Spain including the worst snow storms in 50 years the skies have finaly cleared So its all steam ahead with your Pier, I have added some objects in the mix for you but if you want to start adding some objects via the submission form Phil has made then that would be a fantastic help. Please remeber the longest sub length is 300seconds but on the whole broadband does not need anything as long as that However if you are unsure just ask and you have my number to ting me anyways Steve Ps I have adjusted the gain on the camera to a manual gain setting after taking advice for the IMX455 CMOS chip. So we need to replace the darks that were done under "unity gain" with  new ones. To do this we have to wrap the camera and telescope completly as the XZO does not have a shutter so all light must be blocked. I will do them on the next day that has a none clear night following as I am not going to waste a clear night
Thanks Steve. I was starting to worry that this was a permanent shift in Spanish weather! Especially after seeing the snowstorm in Madrid. The new form looks nice and convenient and I will start loading it up. Do you have a list of what we have in the queue? Can I see it anywhere? Agree on the darks. As you say - no point in wasting an imaging night at the moment. Regards old_eyes

No queue as such but behind the scenes Phil has some new software coming on board so you can see what the pier is doing and how complete it is Steve
