Chris,

I look after it so I'll take it off your hands at the pub. Hopefully the sky will be clear enough to use it !!

Well the Obs Session was a good one. For the first time in months we actually went to the field. There were 11 people and 3 scopes were set-up and several pairs of binoculars were passed around, including my monsters that got a proper test (of muscles to hold them).

...and I hope I've now re-connected the two parts of my RA slow motion handle so that next time I can steer the scope half-way passably...

The thin high cloud made for rather fuzzy views, but at least something was visible.
