No no no, you must not ingest these foul tablets.
If you are feeling a bit off in the morning, one must partake in futther acoholic beverages otherwise known as "the hair of the dog" and start out all over again.

Sunglasses and sunscreen a must. Snake Valley as cold as it can get at night, the sun can get you during the day. Keep your sunnies on while the sun is up or your night vision can suffer.

Size doesn't matter. It's what you do with it that counts. At least that what I've been told - and I tend to agree. What use is a scope that just sits in a cupboard?

Now here's an opportunity to learn to use that EQ mount properly (put the UDL's aside for a bit ). Tear it down after each session so you have to put it back up and re-align. Should be an expert by the end .

Jen, on a serious note, you would be better off learning how to polar align on your telescope than to learn on somebody else's telescope, then transferring your newly gain knowledge back to your scope.

Ask lots of questions. There are no stupid questions!

I won't be there but look forward to hearing reports.
