Finally looked through a scope again and then..

[LeeB]

What with work commitments and clear nights not hitting the rare free weekends my scopes have been idle since sept, managed to get a hour and a half tonight , normal stuff but nice to finally try my three new eyepieces out. (one was from ias !)

Then the wife called as the power had failed and the house was filled with smoke, it appears the dishwasher was about to go bang, close call.

Still alls well that ends well.

The dishwasher put a "finish" to your session!!!

Women will try anything to get you back indoors! 

[Alfian]

Dishwasher? I've never had my Marigolds go up in smoke. I really do suspect some mischief.

It's wonderful after a prolonged enforced break from observing to get back behind an eyepiece.

Let's hope the weather plays ball again soon.

But the most important question is... Did the smoke preserve your dark adapted vision?
