Jeff; I did not plan anything, I literally fell asleep in the couch and just woke up at 4:50 AM. Just lucky. However, I had read about Mare Orientale before and had built the observatory and had the filter so I was ready, I guess that is better than "lucky". Which refractor do you have? Is it the same one you had at the Science Center? I am considering the Meade LXD55 for a future purchase. Looking for an easy to setup and use scope that I can also piggyback my 200mm lens for wide angle astrophotography.
