Seemed to be nowhere near as dark the second time around. Still, it was a good excuse to work on my star hopping skills. First job was to align te RDF. Seemed easy enough to move left - right, but no joy with up - down. Finally got out the tools and took the RDF to bits and found a very badly placed spring. After replacing the spring and rebuilding, all semed well. Now I wasnt having to compensate for a misaligned RDF any more.

Only managed two extra Messiers tonight, M27 and M71. Had a quick look at both M13 and M31 again, but both looked rather washed out.

Still, looking forward to a lot of darker nights with better conditions.
