Thanks!
The Emerald Coast, Florida Panhandle..
So you probably have really good seeing conditions for planetary.

Yep! But that's counting clear nights only.. The weather is always partly cloudy with scattered thunderstorms.
The wet seasons are long, the dry seasons are short. If you don't like the weather.. just stick around a little longer.
Edit for clarification: I'm actually a little further inland from the coast.
The weather here is very humid and subtropical. A lot of rain, a lot of sunshine, a lot of farmland..

I am on the gulf and get very little rain in the summer vs the east coast or inland since we are in a west flow most of the summer. Get plenty of blow off clouds from T- storms and that is about it.

I use to live on the Gulf Coast in Pensacola. I did biosurveys with the DEP and I know working on the coast the weather and rainfall was quite different compared to inland about 40 or 50 miles, for example in northern Escambia or Santa Rosa or any of the FL Panhandle counties.
Good looking Dall-Kirkham Cassegrain's, everyone.

Ryan, you really are killing me with that 210.
I'm back in a not-in-love phase with the C11 but hopefully it will pass.
I'm super stoked 4U though!

All right, a bigger one in a sea of 210's. Anybody have a "real" CAT Tak?

The TSC 225 which are awfully rare theses days. But then again I think they were rare during their production.

I love my 180 but they are not cats.
Is that a dew heater on the finder?

Yes it is. Also on the diagonal for eyepiece. Central Florida early summer is very dewey.
