Hi all,
One thing I most enjoy doing here in Ice In Space is encouraging folks and help out with little technique tips to get the most out of their gear.
Still, even after 30 years experience with a myriad of scopes, large and small, I got one of my biggest and most pleasant surprises tonight when I dusted off my very first 'real' telescope, a little 2" Tasco refractor, which had laid unused for many, many years.
Rather than recite the whole thing again, if you could follow the link below to where I've posted my report and sketch:

It is post number 27 from the December & January Observation Challenge. If you'd like to see the object targets and get a low down for the Challenge, see the link here:
