We were out having a first light of the scope I got my yung bloke for his bristhday (8" motorised dob) and while it needs properly collimating I thought the conditions were pretty unexceptional.
Still, he was rapt as now he has his own to use. I just need to build a good, big and stable dob trolley to be able to get it in and out without having to remove the OTA.
I was eyeballing and filming Moon, Saturn and Mars last night, there was nothing to be seen, Moon was boiling...
Today I will try to extract some details from movies, but I'm not holding my breath.
