New scope curse
G'day everyone from a newbie. I picked up my new (first) scope today, and found out tonight that it must have been packed with moistions. the curse was well and truly on me. I raced home as quickly as I could from a dinner engagement to try out my 8" dob, looking skyward all the way and drooling over the wonderful sights in store. After manhandling the thing outside, working out again all the things I thought I had "memorised" during my daylight play, I turned it toward the heavens in time to see the cloud about to cover the last remaining stars!
Well, I guess there will be many more nights. At least it was practice in finding how to manipulate everything in the dark.
Cheers,
Graeme
