I converted the SAC 7.70 database into a very crude MS Access database in which I can mark objects for observation and also report the observations afterwards.
I am an inveterate star-hopper (no GoTo for me...
) so I print CdC maps of whatever objects I have on my list, with horizon limitations marked in (there is a humungous tree in my East), so I appear at the crease fully prepared...
When night falls I set myself up on the roof, finely tweak the scope's collimation and then look at whatever is visible through the tiny holes in the clouds, plan or no plan....
