Finally some decent weather

After months of cloudy skies and rain, the last few nights have been cloudless, although a bit windy. Used the main obs truss Newt to hone my rusty skills a bit, focussing on some objects in Puppus that are soon to go past my bedtime.

The RC still sits silently on the bench, but I think I should be ready to take it out later this week or next. Temps at night are already in the single digits so that should be an incentive to accelerate star testing and adjustment efforts.

Thanks to Cuiv on YT, I also now have the mini PC on the outside mount talking reliably to the nearby RD tablet screen, so any adjusting should be easier too. If only I had a good solution for attaching the tablet to the mount so I have both hands free for scope adjustments if needed. More bungee cords......
