Good one Sab. Only you would play with Mags like that but those who know there observing will relate to this.
As a humans we like and need sleep. Go to a star party and very busy early , come 2am till dawn most have gone to bed (me included these day's!)
But observers and these day's image's know if you want to push the boundaries of observing and imaging using high magnification's you need good seeing and cooled down optics.
This happens very late at night and more often early morning. Just about every wow moment I have had at the eyepiece has been early morning observing. Sometimes you get lucky in the evening but not as much as mornings. Once the ground has cooled and the optics are at temperature then if the seeing is kind, you will get lots of bingo moments.
A perfect example is Birds images check the times he gets the top ones more often than not in dawn light or just before.
Good one Sab and I'm happy for you with your re done scope keep up the good work
Say Hi to your mum for me
