out on a limb...

[ving (David)]

hey, i never know when i am going to be able to go outside with my telescope... so when theres gale force winds and less than 50% cloud cover and i am avaliable, then i am out there!

after a poor effort or moretus (mike likes this one) i decided to get out ther tonight and see if donditions would allow less blurry pics. i tuned my collimation a bit further as it was way out last time and went hunting around the edges of the moon for anything worth taking a happy snap of.
the wind was gusting and the seeing was only 2/10 at the most most of the time (sometimes but rarely 3/10).... this said i am actually quite happy with some of these.

we have:

• grimaldi to byrgius

• gmaldi centered

• pythagorus

and

• xenophanes which i am particularly fond of for some reason

now all i need is good seeing...
feel free to coment

[ving (David)]

was hard work narayan! but like i said, i never know when i am next going out so i take advantage of every chance i get

I need power for my lappy because the battery no longer holds charge. but i am up for some viewing should the weather be ok

[seeker372011 (Narayan)]

your lappy sounds like mine.. will do a weather check before we drive up

expecting a guest from America-an amateur from Washington who has written to WSAAG asking if he can be shown the Southern sights so I might also only be taking only my dob

now..no goto...will be really embarrasing if I cant find eta carina 4755 or Tuc 47

[ving (David)]

lol, but it wouldnt be the first time for me.. i get disorientated very easily
