New dob! but it's raining

New 8" scope = 8 cloudy nights (at least)
1 new Telrad = 2 rainy days (nights)

Sorry, it's a formula I discovered when I bought the 12½" quite a while
back.

You'll have fun with the 8".

Wishing you clear skies, and good luck.

Hi all

After 5 years of observing with a 4 1/2" GEM newtonian, I picked up my
8" dob with a telrad finder today. I am so excited. In two weeks I will
be under very dark skies with this beauty, but tonight its raining
(isn't that always the way with new toys).

I am looking forward to some great views of Mars...

Damn this rain...sigh. Hopefully tomorrow night is clear.

cheers

Would you all mind STOP buying new scopes. I'd like to use my new scope,
more then 4 times this summer.

Talk about repeating yourself!

;-) Congrats on the new scope!
