With ClearOutside saying it should be clear last night, I decided to try to put my RAO 50x500 frac to use looking at the Southern Cross, and the Pointers. Unfortunately, by the time I was outside, most were too high up to manage to line up in the finder.
Thankfully, at least one wasn't. Rigil Kentaurus. The bottom of the Pointers. So things weren't a total washout.
In the 22mm Kellner, I was able to easily observe it, but my eye was twitching too much to clearly observe it in either the 12mm HA or 6mm HA. I'd been hoping to see if I could see the split between α Centauri A (Rigil Kentaurus) and α Centauri B (Toliman), using the 6mm.
At least one good thing from using the scope more, I'm not trying to focus using the eyepiece thumbscrew, a habit I got into on my Heritage P130 tabletop Dob.
