Last nights session

[10-7]

Hi all !

Last night seeing conditions were ok but I took my apertura ad 10 out for a spin. I'm new to astronomy and slowly learning this new hobby. The night started out well until I took my first view of Saturn and noticed my scope was not cooled off enough. So I waited a while longer and it still had not stabilized. I discovered the fan wasn't working so I solved that problem with a portable fan. I went on to view Saturn, which was ok. Then searched for andromeda and finally did, it was awesome! ! ! So goes my onward adventure into astronomy

Acclimatizing the scope, especially at 10 inches of aperture, is very important when observing the planets!! Sounds like you're onto a great adventure with your dob;))
