I know what you mean Seeker, I bought a LX200 4 weeks ago next monday and I've had it out twice. Frustrating!!
At least its not just up here in the "Sunshine" (Ha ha) state. Ya get home in the arvo and its looking positive, the excitement starts to build up, then around comes sundown and in they roll. Grrrr.
At least the plants are loving it. If only it would rain every time it clouded over, then it would be excusible. (The frustrated astronomer gets on a soapbox).
I wonder how the southern and western states are going? Maybe I should move to NZ. All those fabulous circumpolar constellations available all year. Thats if the telescope doesn't <<freeze>> up.
Maybe we need to have a telescope burning ritual to appease the Astronomy Gods. Do you think that would help?
Clear skies and Dark nights to all
Paul
