    Best view I had was early in the evening (IIRC) Saturday the 30th(?) before the sky went to heck.
    It was on Alan's 24" Star Structure. There, me and Charlie Wicks saw 6070 and two companions.

    So what you are saying is I can just be yours and Bob's fan boy? And just bring a few finderscopes (aka refactors) for the heck of it?

    Tak 9mm Abbe

    Sold some stuff I no longer want or need.
    Then order from Tak America a 9mm Tak Abbe Ortho.
    I did so merely to see if some day, in the UC22, it might go deeper than XXX.
    I have a few Fujiyama's...

    Yes it is only 4.4 hours of darkness. BUT there are wonderful scopes to look through.
    The people of Adin are friendly and happy to have us.
    We have some fairly large dobs to look through.

    Thank you. I knew of Andreas' site. What I have found beyond that is observations with 25 to 48 inch scopes. Hence my wording of doable in a 22. But I guess nothing ventured... :)

    Given the reliability of Skytools (1 through 3) as a program (I can crash it generally with 30 minutes) this comes as a great surprise. (not!)
