Up early.

[toetoe (Peter)]

Most mornings i am up between 5 and 6am and on the nice clear mornings (yes we have had some in the past) i say to myself, should i or should i not get the scope out and have a gander. I must admit that 90% of the time i don't. By the time the kettle is right, (cause i got to have that coffee before i do anything) and you have that first fix for the day, sometimes it's hard to get motivated. Any one else like this..??

It's times like these when you need a good little grab-and-go scope. I almost never get up that early though.

I guess one could grab the binocs when you think about it.

i am very lucky, scope is in the garage, mounted on wheels and as i live on an internal block, i have a large turning circle where i do my viewing. within 1 minute, i can be out there looking!

A zenithstar 80 http://www.william-optics.com/wowebs.../features0.htm or an orion 80 richfield http://www.bintel.com.au/OrionTelescopes.htm on an altaz mount like this one http://www.iceinspace.com.au/forum/s...ead.php?t=3802 would be perfect.
