I've always wondered something - I read somewhere it takes 40 minutes for your eyes to fully dark adapt. Would then viewing the moon through the telescope then wreck this dark adaption? It's pretty bright!

I use a good set of star charts and a red LED torch when I'm observing, instead of the PC.
Good to see your DOb is being used!
