It was considerably darker at Cave Creek and I got in about 2 dozen double
stars (one at 0.8" separation) and about a dozen galaxies (down to magnitude
13.3).  Hope tonight is just as good!

I was also splitting doubles last night from the backyard.  I got a
good, clean split on both components of Epsilon Lyrae at 198x - as well
as a "decent" split on Izar with the same power.  Saturn gave up some
really good detail, too.  

Globs (M5,13, 92) were not quite so thrilling through 90mm, though -
even with good seeing.  And M57 was merely there.

32nd St. and Union Hills - not exactly prime viewing turf.

It was a welcomed night of viewing from the backyard at Tatum and 
Pinnacle Peak.  I was able to split Epsilon Lyrae at 314x, and the 
planetary nebula were most accommodating.   Tonight looks good also so 
the scope is properly bedded outside for another go at it this evening.
