First decent look at the moon too through this beastie... awesome. Might have a go at rigging up a camera sometime given the planets in a few months time.

Didn’t hang around though as it’s a horrible night 30 degrees and 90% humidity.
Im going to report morrow perhaps Wavy.. quickly split all except 52 tonight; you got 52 kissing with some black between sometimes? If so thats very good....pretty ordinary night for splitting anyhow...So need to retry.
