Last night was the 8th clear night in a row – a new record.
Previously I managed to blow all the power MOSFETs in the dome rotator, so I spent all Monday morning replacing same (8 MOSFETs to de-solder, remove and replace). Fortunately there was no other damage to the stepper motor printed circuit board.
So the first image post repair was this one of Castor & Pollux.
This was only 10 x 5-minute subs (half the number of subs I usually like to take) but at least it shows everything is working again. However – as the Moon is now becoming obtrusive it might be a while before there are any new images, even if the sky is clear – we’ll see.
