Yeah, get out there. If I wasn't under the weather I would try to be out observing as well.

Sorry to hear it didn't work out for you tonight. I'm about an hour south. The sky got really good about 9pm. Found comet 168p/Hergenrother but its right at the limit of what I can see at low magnification and averted vision. Jupiter was maybe the best I've ever seen. It was great at about 300 mag and I even got to about double that for a few second here & there. A blue filter really made it sharp.

Very cool!
Sorry about my sour state last night - After a good nights rest and a clear head I realize I may be asking too much from my mount to expect it to no trail carrying a heavy F15 scope...
I may shed some items and try to get an F5 or so refractor and have another go at this.
