Observing: Back in the Saddle...

First night out with a scope since last September, using the TV85 + Porta for a brief viewing session. I'm happy to report that M29 is still there. I didn't stay out long, conditions weren't that great and humidity was getting bad.

I had all of the gear in storage at the Closter house, brought it all back to Lake Wallkill today with the intention of finally equipping the Antares 127 with the reticle finder and giving the 'new' Sirius mount a full shakedown, as I only had it outside once shortly after receiving the replacement unit from Orion.
