Hey there Suzy, I'm pretty excited
so much so that I got it out the backyard last night because I could see a large clearing in the cloud. By the time I put it together/checked collimating, solid rain clouds set in for the night. I'm itching for a good clear night. I did sneek a look at m42 though, freaking awesome!!!!. Can't wait to get it to a dark site. And I have some really really dark sites down here. Maybe good enough for the horsehead?
fun and probably frustrating times ahead.
