Looking Very Promising....

......for my first session in many weeks (except a bit of Moon).  I fancy using the 8" Cat, not on GoTo, but rather with the little ED80 Triplet as a guidescope.

Hope I can remember how to use all this stuff!  😉

Know what you mean Gus.  Got a couple of hours in until after midnight, but not as successful as I'd hoped.  The best bit was seeing the Double Double early on - it was good to swap between 'scopes, seeing Vega and the DD together in the widefield, then the DD occupying most of the FOV in the 8SE, and each pair being nicely split at x102/135.  Other than that, just the Summer Beehive Cluster and the Rose Cluster.  Getting started hopping round was difficult on account of the relatively light sky of course.

Good to get out again though!
