I had a trip out to the Capertee valley a few weeks ago. Due to me not driving, and no friends who own large cars, it was to be my first ever time taking the Dob to a dark-sky site, so I was pretty keen...
Packed everything up, EP case packed up, batteries charged, scope ready to move... Got to the site, got the camp set up and began setting up the scope, only to discover my case containing my 2-inch eyepieces missing. Instead, I'd picked up my case of lesser-quality (borderline junk) 1.25-inch EP's, and no 1.25 adaptor...
My tip; either store your eyepieces in different-looking cases so you don't pick up the wrong one, or take both cases... Lol
Thankfully, a friend brought her DSLR and tripod, so I had a crack at some nightscape shots, got some good results (for a first attempt anyway), which I'll post soon
