    Thanks very much Miguel. Unfortunately I have no new discoveries since the reduction gears of the telescope break. The replacement kit is on it's way and I hope to have the telescope repaired on the next saturday. In the meanwhile I'm testing video capture cameras, one to monitor daytime meteors and lightnings and another, B&W high sensitivity (0.0001 lux) to record shooting stars.

    BTW the lasts postings in your blog are beautiful, the quality of the pictures improves at a fast rate, congratulations!

    Juan
