Had another go at this tonight, Evening cleared up but half a moon washed out the sky somewhat. Still no luck even with the 10" but I'm not sure where it is now. Clouds returned in force at 9:00pm and that was the end of that.

But did manage to get the 32mm 2" EP into action. Great feild of view and quite good right out towards the edges although it was quite sensitive about being on axis viewing. If your eye wandered off a mm then it got all 'edgy' and you lost the view.

Also got the O III onto the 20 mm superview and had a good look at Lagoon despite the fact it was very close to the moon. The O III made a big difference to how much of the neb structure you could see and the extent of it. Quite effective although quite a lot darker of course.

I also got some workshop time in and built most of the new Dob AZ base for the Serrurier build. I'll photo it when it goes together and add it to the DIY thread.
