But on the whole with a couple of beers as well a wholly enjoyable first evening.
There was however one problem that nobody had warned me of. That being my wife who has absolutely no interest in astronomy, but continually moaned "let me see" "give me a go" "don't hog the thing all night". Oh well I suppose when I finally upgrade this small but mightily impressive scope will never go un-used :0)
I'd also like to add how easy it was when the showers came it was just a matter of picking the whole thing up to bring inside and then take back out again due to its Dob mount and very lightweight which was one of the main reasons for choosing this scope.

Welcome to my world - at least your wife is keen to have a look. I had a big bad jupiter in my eyepiece last week absolutely sparkling and do you thin kI could get the wife outside? Too cold she said I'm watching Q&A.
