Not sleeping. Unfortunately it leaves buggered at work for the rest of the week. Not sure how much my colleagues appreciate what I do for the love of art.

I actually still have a couple of shots I need to get around to working on.

Only $199 new on a solid alt/az tripod.

Yeah some scopes are way better than their price tag or general expectation. Sadly my 102mm F/5 Celestron isn't really in that same category. That said, I couldn't replace it without spending a lot more cash than just trying to upgrade it... Thinking I really want to move to a pair of reflectors though. Do monochrome H-alpha and OIII with one and RGB one-shot colour with the other. I won't be able to afford any of that though for at another year and half though.
