Posted on the forum so I'll share here also. Here is my blog entry for my observing session for last Friday, the 23rd including the 5 sketches I got done. Wonderful night but no heater because the propane tank's value on/off knob is frozen! Frost became a major issue after 9:30p.m. My friend Shahid was there with his Z12 and Daniel showed up with his binoculars. It was a fun night. I left early but my Harbor Freight defroster/heater/fan worked like a charm in clearing the frost off the Telrad and the finder scope. Take a look if you want or this can be enough. Not looking too good for tonight though with lots of high cirrus clouds coming through. http://jaysastronomyobservingblog.blogspot.com/ -- Jay Eads
