Hi Mars I would love to go out observing tonight, but I have come down with some sort of nasty cold or flu bug! So, it's probably not in the cards for me.:(...
It's a big fat first quarter moon. If you like looking at the moon, it's perfect. If you like looking at faint stuff, then I guess it's better than clouds......

Okay I'll bite... I have an 8 inch Zambuto mirror looking for a better 8 inch home, how much? :) I am not sure why you'd think the scope would fall over......
I have a 45cm f/4.5 truss tube newt. I was thinking the 8mm Ethos could replace both my 12mm Nagler and my 9mm Nagler. It has slight more field of view and...
Alvin, Was up in the area of Blue Canyon on saturday with my daughter. Roads were clear, but there's approx 2-3 feet at the airport. It would be hard lugging...
