But it's defaulting to the "water" constellations now? Glad to hear it suffered no damage

Just had 10 straight nights with my Argo. Worked flawlessly! Sky so dark I had the brightness down to 1% I'm starting to learn how to find specific stars with it. Somewhat trickier than finding non-stellar where just spotting the object in the FOV is sufficient. I found that searching out small planetary nebulae is a good training intermediate between galaxies/globular clusters and individual stars. But precision pointing may be a challenge. Might be time for me to TPAS!
