    Got the new Stellarvue 105 Apo out last night, unfortunately wasn't able to polar align as clouds kept me from locking this up but I just manually drove the scope around. In short time Roger Southwick stopped by with his new Stellarvue 80 and we spent a few hours taking in the sights such as Mars, the Beehive cluster, M42 & 45. The one thing I noticed with both scopes that the images we're extremely sharp and the stars perfect round points of light.

    Can't wait until the skies improve as the new imager comes in Friday so I look forward to some great nights observing once the 120+ nights of lousy weather leave us.
