hey Trev,
Yeah once I tried stargazing drunk, infact it was the best seeing ever, The Trapezium in Orion were nice tight balls at over 700x in my 12" but surprise surfreakingprise, it clouded right over GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!
I could've been throwing over 1000x on some planetaries that night but NOOOOOO frigging CLOUDDS!!1!11
I hope we've all learnt something here kids, Don't drink on a clear night - You'll be paying for it bigtime
