well I wen't out tonight to get my first view of mars.the sky was clear,with the exception of a cloud bank slowly creeping in,well it was clold out -9.I got everything set up,a fast polar alignment and started viewing.as the scope cooled down was starting to get a nice view of mars.it was great.ran in to get the laptop for some ccd imaging.well here come's the clouds so fast i managed to get a fast 120 sec of images.came in after about an hour frozen to death just to see that my avi won't decompress all was lost:mad:...i am not a happy camper........bad break ,to say the least.
