Good one Houghy, I got home from seeing "Chronicle" and noticed a distinct lack of clouds so even though we had some friends over for dinner I set up my scope in our small courtyard with about 20 degrees of North sky view and ended up giving an astronomy lesson about Orion and M42 and a little bit of the moon.
Our friends were very excited and I got to try out my 13mm Nagler I got for my birthday back in December. It was the first time I've had the scope out since November and considering the state of the light pollution it was a decent bit of viewing.
