As Paul said, it was a pleasent night, quite balmy for the end of winter. The seeing was average and quite a lot of sky glow. As for polar alignement, well, the scope runs a lot quieter, the accuracy is excellent, even one side of the meridian to the other but this having to work on your knees half upside down to look in the south half has hairs on it, especially when your kneeling on a green ants next, them guys just didnt see the funny side of it at all. Back to Alt Az for me, I dont image anyway so what the hay. Looking forward to the nexr "Rons" night. Cheers, Dennis.

P.S. I just love that 25"er as long as I dont have to set it up each night.
