just got back in after extensive viewing og jupiter, some of the orion nebula while it was up - i couldnt get saturn, that direction was blocked by house, i was just in my rather small backyard - i did some casual scanning and found a few things, i came back in only because my lenses were starting to fog up. i think ill try for those globular clusters tomorrow night, if the clear skies hold.
one problem though. my finderscope as it is, is impossible to correctly allign, with one of the screws fully tightened its still not alligned properly with the main scope, its still a bit off to the side - i can still find objects, but it takes a little more time.
Jupiter was amazing, the increase in quality from the white disc on my spotting scope was mind blowing.
Is there a special way to get condensation off the mirror? or does it just go? im worried it might turn into water and make a little pool at the bottom.
