Description

First time out with a guidescope at a fairly dark site. Quite happy with it after struggling to get set up in the dark. Quite a cold night (-4oC) so not too much noise but chilly fingers. Also first time at a star party with the flat field generator, worked very well without much light leakage to annoy everyone else!

I can't see M81 and M82 from my back garden so seemed like as good a target as any for the night...
