The bungy idea didn't work well as some of the camera controls are on the back that I treated as a bottom. Tomorrow I plan to design & build a custom SUC enclosure to accomodate the circumstance. I have some concern as well about condensation developing on the SUC overnight.
Clouds moved in for awhile & then cleared & I have my first view of the stars. (The SuperNightshot mode is required for star observations.) I have the star Vega in the constellation Lyra just South of my frame center.
I have noticed that a part of the house eve is in the frame & so provides a perfect scale as the rafters are on 2 foot centers; tomorrow I'll measure the height of the eve from the SUC's focal plane.
This concludes this irregularly scheduled SUC report.
