Description

I was setting up last night to play with my Autoguider, and try it out, and learn about it. I'm still new to AP, so there's a lot to learn. A couple of ladies showed up, individually, to watch the moon rise. Neither knew it was a Blue Moon.

I set the telescope up for visual use, but it was kind of too high for either of them, so I took a Vortex Optics spotting scope out of the car, and used that for them instead. About the same magnification, so all was good.

I put the telescope back in AP configuration, and while I was there, I centered the moon, and fired off a couple of shots.
