02 NOTES: --------- (1) Had electrical problem - lost +15v power supply - intermittent. Probably a bad joint somewhere - should not be a major problem to locate. Consequently tracking somewhat hampered and missed USA 186. (2) Had focus problems - changing during the session - think its due to play in the telescope drawtube holding the camera - poor quality drawtube ( you get what you pay for):-((( Cheers Greg _______________________________________________ Seesat-l mailing list http://mailman.satobs.org/mailman/listinfo/seesat-lReceived on Tue Feb 24 2015 - 06:31:03 UTC
