Well that's it for me tonight. Got moon burn on my retina's and insect bites on my bare feet.
Spent some time on the moon quickly changing EPs to see the difference.
Glanced around the stars a bit but with such a bright moon close by l couldn't get anything to brilliant in the EP.
Mars, M16 and M8 were up there somewhere. Couldn't even get Mars due to the bright moon and it being my first time out.
Lots to learn but the next 3 months will be very limited viewing for me as I'm off the road (no licence) till mid Jan (l was naughty). By then l should have my setting up routine and polar south (?) sorted out. (That's where Brian comes in handy ha ha)
Cheers for now and thanks for everyone's thoughts, suggestions, ideas et all.
