Mars/Saturn 16th Mar.

Wow what a night/morning. Humidity would have to have been 100% & had to setup the pedestal fan to stop my glasses from fogging up at the laptop. Helped to keep the heavy dew away as well. Just got Mars on the chip & it blinked out. Next minute the heavens opened up & down it came. I'm pretty quick these days at getting that roof shut. Only a few drops on the corrector thanks to the long dew shield I use. Eventually got a few captures in a few sucker holes, but none were as long as I wanted. Won't bore you with the rest of the comedy of errors but suffice to say this happened 5 X while I was out there. Wringing wet so time for a shower!

Damn I hate this place! Great seeing when it decides to come good but boy, it can be a test to your sanity, I'm crazy enough as it is now
