Tripod came yesterday!
One of the legs was a bit stuck, but after some jiggling and force it came loose, and all seems to be pretty good. Easily extends up to higher than I need, so no problems with that.
Spent an hour looking at the moon just after sunset. Was very impressed. Even worth getting completely devoured by mosquitoes
Had a guest over for a few hours, tried to go back out afterwards but cloud cover had picked up quite a bit so wasn't worth it. Hopefully there'll be a clear night over the weekend so I can spend some real time out there
Will post a pic of the setup later.
