I already HAVE a night / weekend job, 40 hours a week worth ..... maybe what I need is a daytime job as well ...... those Meade 20" suckers look kinda interesting.

I had my scope out early tonight, checking out the Mars / Saturn / M44 grouping (which looked pretty good actually!).

Light scattered clouds blew across so I left the scope outside but near the back door while I came in for dinner, planning to go back out for further viewing later.

When I did go back out an hour later I found said scope quite wet from the steady but surprisingly quiet rain that had crept in.

I HATE stealth rain!!!

Viewing plans cancelled .... and now I'm on site back at my night / weekend job, scope in lounge room at home drying off.
