What a Comedy!!!
I had a look outside and surprise, surprise, no fog!
I quickly got my dob outside, no fog, rushed back in, grabbed the EP case and headed back outside. Still no fog. You beauty!
No time for cool down.
Stuck in my 2" SuperView. Yep, Jupiter still up there. Ah hah, Orion Neb still exists. OK, now to try my super-duper new Barlow.
Get barlow in, take out 1.25" adaptor, place 2" 30mm SuperView and . . . FOG!!!!!!!!!!!!
Quickly looked at Joop, yeah, looks bigger (blurry but bigger). Hurry, hurry, look at Orion, fogged out. Took out SuperView and put 1.25" adaptor in. Put 25mm Plossl in . . . . too late. Everything gone! Scope is already very wet in 3 minutes!! Packed up EP's, got scope inside. followed by base.
Quickest viewing night I have ever had. I cannot comment on the Barlow or the accuracy of the Cheshire. Must have looked funny if anyone saw me, I was doing everything in fast motion, even running carrying the OTA!
Blasted cold foggy mountain weather. Back inside with the wood fire now.
