Short observing break here. Several reasons: apart from it being overcast the past three days, it includes that;
- I am working on a double lecture (Friday on my own university, next week in York);
- and am having to deal with a camera defect.
The camera defect is small but fatal for shooting the night sky: for some reason (loose electronic contact?) the wire-release no longer works when the camera is pointed upwards....
So if I am able to observe early next week and after I return from York, it will probably be the good old visual way with the ETX-70 telescope and stopwatch for a while.
