Last night was first light for my finder scope (I haven't assembled the base of my Dob yet).

Broken cloud but was just able to make out M42 as a smudge in the saucepan handle. With the finder scope being hand held, the stars were jumping around a bit.

It was very disorientating because the view through the finder scope is upside down and back to front.
