Well, I'm back from Ron's.
Had a great night (First Light for the dob AND me
).
Saw heaps of clusters, nebulas, and other sexy things.
My next purchase won't be a TV eyepiece, it won't be a Telrad, it won't even be a red laser torch or a green laser pointer
.
It's going to be
WARM CLOTHES
- especially better footwear and some gloves.
I was told how bad a wobbly tripod could be, but being cold for long periods of time when your trying to enjoy yourself must rate a close second (actually I think I would prefer a wobbly tripod
).
I would like to thank Ron very much for his hospitality, and both Ron and Steve for their help in pointing out objects to look at ("John, that's Jupiter - not Venus
").
Thanks again guys. Even though I froze, I had a great time
.
