Great stuff Ron, it sounds like you a great scope there, a 6" will be no slouch when it comes to viewing.
I wonder if cloud build up is associated with trades as well .

Look forward to reading your observing report

If in the last 2 months since I joined IIS, the bad weather is directly attributable to me (as I suspect), I sincerely and respectfully apologize to all amateur astronomers, everywhere

Regarding the observing notes, I am really keen to make direct comparisons on Saturn and Jupiter with respect to binoculars versus telescope, I have a real good appreciation of how those two planets look via binoculars, so I am just busting to see them in the 6 inch scope.

So lets develop IIS barter points, there are enough members and the Buy/Sell/Trade section of the forum is amongst the most active, there is a thriving and flourishing opportunity to do business between ourselves. Like you said, the important thing is to have a core value system (points) where unlike objects can be directly compared. This would be not so different than PayPal is you think sideways a little.
