Ep Testing

Tonight I also set up old SD4, I wanted to try out some EP's on the both
scopes.

Found out one thing, When viewing with the 4.8 neggler, I've got to wait for
the object to get high in the sky and also to let that EP cool down too,
otherwise, I don't get a good view with it. I tried Saturn when it was about
30 degrrs up, couldn't get a clear image. Just a few mins ago, with Saturn
almost overhead and the EP at or near the 35F outside, I tied it with both
scopes, got the best image with the 10incher, on the SG4, I found out one
trouble I had with it, I couldn't keep it on a subject without tieing it
down a lot and because of the extra weight at the rear, can't use it in the
dob hole, but I did get a soso image with it. lots better with a 10mm in it
and the 17mm one too.

Am waiting for Jupiter now.
