Secret - get on location well before sunset and get setup and collimated - I always try to do that - ain't always easy!

Second - the webcam work wasn't part of the 50 min.

Third - I wasn't running a stop watch, but I remember spending lots of time drinking coffee and walking around thinking where's the best spot here to photograph a lunar eclipse and sitting rugged up in my chair looking at sucker holes!

Fourth - the testing I did of filter and eyepieces was nowhere near sufficient - relatively quick looks!

Fifth - takes 30 seconds to flick through a couple of eyepieces and split alpha Crucis
