It’s supposed to be 90° tomorrow. Given past years, I’m expecting about 2 or 2.5 more months of clear before the rainy season.
I’m just in “no working telescopes” mode at the moment.
Pumpkin has field flattener problems.
Veronica has no focuser at the moment.
Trixie needs a finder and a guidescope bracket.
Kate has no Robofocus.
I did a stupid and worked on “fixing” gear during the summer, instead of getting it going and then fixing it during the winter like I was supposed to.
All the travel I did last fall really messed up my schedule.
I’m going to try to get the finder and guider installed this weekend. Then I’ll be all set for the moon to come back around.
