I have my hopes set on Sunday night. Dusted off my 10" reflector, spent
the afternoon totally messing up the alignment of my secondary mirror
and then getting it reasonably back again and then collimated the
primary. Also bought a new pair of binocs, so I don't want to hear
anything about bad weather!
Which raises a question, why do we say a pair of binoculars? Binoculars
implies 2 monoculars, right? So a pair would be two sets of binocs,
right? Anyone still with me? Anyone? *sigh*
Is anyone still planning to try their luck Sunday night?
