Dragon Astro 12" Dob

It was still raining cats & dogs at 11pm last night when I turned in.

You had the heavy rain too then Gina?

Here in Pembrokeshire it literally rained all day from 7am to about 6pm 🙈

Don’t think there was a drop left for last night lol

I did however manage to sit on my glasses in the dark 🙈

Now got a nice hairline “artefact” on one lens 😩

I some times find the rigel rings a bit difficult to get your head in the right place to find them. Telrads are easier to work with using the long body as a reference. 

Other than that they are small and light which helps with balance and also stands off the tube higher which can help. 

Totally agree with that Damian. I often think I've forgotten to turn my Rigel on, when it's really just me having my head in the wrong place, again!!

Oh dear.  Strangely enough, I sat on mine the other evening and broke the hinge one side but managed to repair it with a bit of wire.  I'm due for my annual eye test shortly so can get them fixed then (or a new pair).
