Well I am out here and its bloody HOT!!!......Its the price you pay to be in BigSky country this time of year though I guess.
I have had to resort to some bush cryogenics to keep the heat out off the scope during the day..........even Trusty Astro dog is loving the shade.
it cools down rapidly at night though and the seeing is pretty good.
Spent last night fitting the StarSense to the CPC1100.....not straight forward lol, who would guess.....
Anyway, sorted most problems out......other than it cant find planets above the horizon....it only brings up ones below the horizon, yet if you manually point at the and press identify, it knows what they are ??
Ask it to point to Sirus, and it does it happily.
