    What happened to Cliphead BTW? He was a bit of an astronomy / space enthusiast wasn't he?
    While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'

      Long story. Basically there he joined some Eastern block circus as part of a he-she freak show act. He fell in love with a bloke named Boris, who broke his heart. He left the circus and now tours on his own around Bulgaria as half of the aforementioned act. A sad tale really.

          I think a periscope is probably more useful for that.

            It's a big bugger. Bit hard to align with north as well, as my house in the way...

              Then it clouded over again & rained on me.
              Walking back from the station around midnight, the sky was quite clear. Lots of stars (including Orion).

                I've dialed in the finderscope now so finding specific objects should be a lot easier. I need to get a better grasp of the coordinate systems as well. RA is a puzzle, surely it changes every day?

                  I found Jupiter. It really does have a red spot and moons.

                      It is pretty much raining the rest of the week. Luckily I have a book for that.
