My new scope worked like a charm and we enjoyed the views greatly.  M51 in particular showed much in terms of detail and structure, both arms very evident as was most of the bridge.

There is a group of us, about 6 to 7 that are heading to the Pit tonight if anyone is interested in joining us. Humidity will be low until around 4:00a.m. and then it goes up to around 60% but temperature should prevent dew. Should be a very good night according to Clear Sky Clock.

I am looking at Wolf Creek next Monday and Tuesday night for new moon as the forecast is great for those two nights.
