Awww nuts!

Clear skies at 7:00pm. I set up - scope, table, laptop, all the gear. I get the collimation right after fitting Bobs Knobs and then align the new Telrad perfectly. What a unit! Beats the finder scope hands down for quick slewing - but not as accurate as the cross-hairs in the finder to getting really close.

Anyway - all ready to go..... 9:00pm.

9:15 - solid cloud cover.

(and I was wondering why the heck I couldn't focus Jupiter)
