I only spotted it for 10 mins before it went behind a house across from me......and only when it was dark enough.

raining here too. Lousy day to build a new chicken coop. Was also hoping to take a look at the sun but it never showed it's face.

I got it too. A good result but the seeing was dreadful. Had another crack at the moon last night - a proper halo around it but still spent an enjoyable hour looking at it through the 32mm and 14mm. The scope is sitting outside cooling down at the mo but the clouds have rolled in. Boo...

I just looked at the moon through my scope for the first time, truly breathtaking! It was quite 'wobbly' Im presuming coz its been ridiculously HOT hear all day, but it was still clear and amazing. Looked through my 10mm 20mm and 20mm with a not very good 2x Barlow. Also tried the 4mm but I couldnt focus it very well. Clearest was with the 20mm and pretty good with 20mm through Barlow. I loved it, managed to get a pic with my phone but it was quite difficult!
