Micheal,
Been outside on one of those nights, stayed out till 9:30 when the woodfire smoke started to drift in from the city. I know what that stuff has done to the paint on my boat, so I am really wary of dew/smoke particles on the colector plate. I think that I'm going to have to come up with some sort of solution over the winter months. See if you can find 47Tuc, globular cluster with real wow factor; should be an easy target with your refractor. I found Rigel Kent nice too, didn't realise it was a binary (well its really a triple)
Just put the LX outside to cool and you guessed it, within 20 minutes the clouds rolled in. Might try again later if the weather clears.
