Paul, you should have waited an hour, like you, I set my gear up (pre flight run for Rons on saturday night) and it clouded over, I was thinking of you (we live just a few blocks apart) wondering if you too had set up, but I waited, watched some telly, let it rain lightly on my new Dob (not happy Jan, but missed the mirror) and went outside about 10 and voila, it was perfect, well almost, slightly hazy at high altitude causing a little sky glow but Seagull, Trarantula, Tuc47 and the rest of the magellanic mob were all there in their glory, excellent night, now shoosh, I have to go back to sleep on my keyboardsdiufhkgjvgdfgvddfghvfkgkjh bhbnjfjbn.....................ZZZzz zzz ZZZZzzzzzzzz
