Checklist

Long wool socks - CHECK
Ugg Boots - CHECK
Long pants - CHECK
Long sleeve skivvy - CHECK
Over coat - CHECK
Swiss Army fold down hat (covers ears) -CHECK
US Army wool gloves - CHECK
Vixen FL102S on Vixen GPD2 with Starbook S (tuned)- CHECK

And most importantly, PERFECT seeing here in SE QLD - CHECK!

Time to get acquainted to Starbook S alignments, then wait for the Moon to set... then away we go imaging Rho Opiuchi Nebulae and Corona Australis.

Good seeing right now in SE QLD? Did you check skippy? Looks like you guys are getting the same jetstream we're getting. Could get away with it at short FL maybe.

Marc, YES, but I don't care - it's been too long and so long as I get SOMETHING to process, I don't care really. I just NEED to be out there.

It was -7C here an hour ago

Here you need a "Mont Icicle" jacket as a minimum.

Not cheap, but....

....worth its weight in platinum!

My better 9/10ths bought me one of these: the heater element is in the back, just over the wearer's aorta (the largest blood vessel in your body).

Highly recommended!
