This will give all of you an idea what fellow C4 owner SHOOTNSTARZ and I can see when using our celestial telescopes.

Got the scope ready, got the camera ready, finally one I don't have to get up at 0200 to watch. They're predicting cloudy skies here for the lunar eclipse but if there's a chance of getting some good shots I'm setting up anyway.

Now I know how you came up with your forum name!
Never asked you when we met a few weeks ago about your "handle" Did you get your wife a C5 yet? Maybe she can start a "go fund me" account!

The handle comes from 2 of my hobbies, shooting/gun collecting and astronomy/astrophotography, pretty clever eh?
LMK when you're coming back in town, we'll do lunch again, only at a better place this time.

In 2017 there is going to be a total solar eclipse, comes ashore at Charleston and heads WNW. I would bet wherever I choose to be along the path it will be clouded over, even with long range forecast.

More than half these events get clouded out, meteor showers, eclipses and scheduled stargazes.

It was raining here in western Pennsylvania Sunday evening.
In the 1980's, I worked at Allegheny Observatory in north Pittsburgh. Out of 365 days, we could only work about 60 of them.
