[AZ-Observing] Re: Tonight (Friday)

AJ,

Testing is taking place on my back patio of my new-to-me C11/CGE scope.

It's a new scope epidemic!

May we both have good SCT/GEM tonight . . .

Matt

It wasn't mentioned on the list as I just discovered it day before
yesterday.  To be more specific there was NO problem with the telescope, it
was operator error.  Couldn't figure out why it was off 1.5 to 2 deg.  When
polar aligning I was putting Polaris on the rong side of the NCP - duh!
 
Took long time but there was lots of waiting for clear skies, replacement
parts and e-mail responses. 
 
Clear skies,
