Well, with that screen name, I'd expect to find you here!

Easily seen in the bright skies of phoenix, especially with binoculars. I am not in the mood to trudge out my enoumously inconvenient 6 inch reflector and plug it in and all that, its 25 years old and very analog!

Bump.

I just went outside and the binoculars really bring that little fuzzball to life.

Some of the Makusov-Caselgrain hybrids are very nice and portable. One of my scopes is a 127mm MC with equitorial and slew that's perfect for johhny-on-the-spot viewing and it's great to travel with. Setup is about 7 min. It's the cooldown that's the time sink. :-)

ThinkinGal, Glad to be an activated fuzzball and nice to see you again.
