Sounds like such a nice day, Alex! Hope it all goes smoothly mate
I inched further toward a good set up last night, had a decent alignment done, could slew to stars and see them in my 48deg FOV 24mm EP, so thats alright. The clouds came through as soon as I had confirmed that it was good, but still, I was happy. I think I got a quick look at NGC3368 toward the north at around 9:30, though by the time I grabbed my barlow to get in closer the clouds had come across.
Thanks to everyone who has given me tips on my set up. I agree with Paul, feeling really lucky to have a community like this!
