New QHA antenna
Put up a new QHA antenna today to try diversity reception on the Satellite reciever. Getting a lot of interferance not sure why yet. Seems like a cable issue.

First night clear skies, good seeing and transparency. Had a few issues with autoguider lossing lock during the night.
Second night again clear all night. Seeing not as good as last. Autoguider again playing up as we went over the meridian, perhaps a balance issue, time will tell.
Time has told, it's a Binary :-(

Good night, didn't get started until about 1am as there was to much passing cloud but then got a good run until about 4.30am. Target is bright and well seperated from other stars.
Second night got an early start at about midnight but high air mass of 4! Pics were average, again got stopped after a few hours by cloud. This late night stuff is harsh.
