At last..

Due to a thunder strike end of October - our observatory has been down for now 2 months. This week we got back into business - our repaired system now consists of an AP6 with blue enhanced KAF 1001E Chip.

The sensitivity is nearly twice what we had before - hereby a few test images from this week.
