EAAS observing October 17th

Several times in one night at times, Frank!
Even worse is having a glorious night that is cloudy by the time you've got to a site, and so you sit and wait....and wait.... and wait!
I do feel sorry for the people with the huge mounts, a million cables and all that alignment to do, though, it's a lot to pack up and put away.
The company makes it worthwhile though. There have been times we've been literally crying with laughter when it's been cloudy, telling stories and waiting for the sky to clear.

Yeah it's good craic sometimes alright.
I have to say about setting up scopes...
The 5'' ETX (even though is breeze to set up) seems like a chore
in compariason to setting up the Clubs Dob.
The Dob design is so simple yet so effective.
I never thought I'd say it but go-to , shmo - to.

Absolutely. MyLightbridge is up and collimated in ten minutes or less, usually.
However, astrophotography is out, although I don't really mind.
