Hi Patrick,

Just a simple ES 127ED on an Atlas in my ROR OBS. The roof gets too much use these days, and the ES not much it seems, thanks to leaky clouds. This weekend looks good though.

An AT8IN and ED80 in my ROR. I've been experiencing 'LCS' lately too (leaky cloudy syndrome).

My lodestar guider is showing up today so I don't expect it change at all

Packed (somewhat) neatly into my roll-away/outhouse obs... I have a Stellarview SVR-70ED that I use for a guide scope, mounted on top of a Tak-FSQ106, which is mounted on a Tak TOA150. All sitting on a Paramount ME on top of a PierTech pier (with stabilizing outriggers.)
