So... I'm waiting to get my new telescope and it's back-ordered till the 26th. I'm going from a Computerized 5" aperture to a fully manual 10" aperture. The truth is I never really got the alignment to work as well as I'd have liked to. It was never centered when I got done and always seemed to take way longer to align than to do any viewing.

So tonight I finally had clear skies enough to look around and I was rewarded decently. With my binoculars, I found the Beehive Cluster pretty easily and with the aid of my Adirondack chair was able to look at it for a while w/o killing my arms. It's times like these I wish I lived in the woods (or had access to the power grid). :)
