The Autumn star party at Haw Wood Farm almost had to be cancelled due to water logged ground. The forecast for the week didnt look great either. But the site managers Dan & Georgina pulled out all the stops and moved us to their gravel pitches, and asked others nearby to keep their lights down.
This worked well, and we amazingly had observing on 5 out of 7 nights, including some of the steadiest seeing I’ve seen in the UK.
My own ScopeDog drive (18” UC) with integrated eFinder worked brilliantly. A friends 15” Classic Obsession that I had installed ScopeDog with eFinder on during the summer also worked well, although the owner was still on the learning curve. A standalone eFinder I fitted to a friend’s 22” UC Obsession had its first use and on its first night bagged about 50 targets, including some very difficult to find ones.
The eFinder is now mature!
