I've resubscribed to sci.astro.amateur, with a lovely 8000 headers already there. Initial searches on our scope seemed quite negative, but one person posted a link to a promising review. More reading to be done shortly, assuming I don't conk out after such a lively day following a lively night.

I've fitted the Barlow to the 25mm SMA eyepiece, and have lovingly placed the Lanthanum (sp) on stand-by. I've synched the computer to the military's time site, surprised to only be three minutes off. (This puts every other clock in my daily life into question.)

I scratched away the skin from where the skeeters got me around the ankle last night. You know, I could sleep right now and be up in time to see Jupiter and Saturn. The neighbour's company might even be gone by then. Of course, irony would probably feed me more than eight hours of sleep, impishly shattering the pattern of recent months.

These rubber eyecups are the way to go.
