Well, most part of a roll blown last nite between midnite and 1.15am. It
was rather cold out, and there were bugs on the ground where I had laid my
constellation board (rotate to match time and date, all visibile stars
and degrees from zenith/horizon show up). Ugh. It probably helped that I
wpoe my spectacles that I saw more stars...and that i was outside for a
long time, getting used to the darkness :-) Nothing long, mostly 15sec on
the 50, 30sec on the 28, and a few minutes on the 200 to see how
magnification affects this whole thing.
