I found the line of 30+ foot high tress down my neighbours fence line made my observations impossible. I couldn't locate it with Stellarium (could locate it with Stellarium but not in my line of sight), binoculars or the Megrez.
I'll rely on Stellarium and Binoculars a little later I think, I've read it will be locatable with a telescope into May. Higher in the sky I might even be able to use the RC8 and the Player One 178 (ZWO ASI 178 equivalent sensor) camera. It will be a lot colder here just west of the Blue Mountains by then. I think I need to look into a dew band for the secondary mirror (it's fogged in the past while the primary has remained clear ( I'm assuming the secondary fogged, it could have been the camera sensor, likely using my Nikon D810 then)).
I'm particular about letting all equipment acclimatise before use, normally a good hour plus because that allows setting up in daylight.
