Did some observing last night with some friends who came over.  Almost full moon and a bit hazy but trying to get used to the scope so I’m not fiddling with it when we get some good clear nights.  I updated the AutoStar handcontroller so I had to recalibrate to Polaris and train the drives.  I also got to try out Starry Night Pro (SNP) for the first time and connected it to the scope.  SNP was able to slew the scope pretty well onto even some faint objects.  We did some nebulas and star clusters.  While SNP is not an atlas program per se (more of a planetarium software), it is easy to use and I think that’s what I need now to start.  While we were observing, I got a call from Harry Siebert who was finalizing a few eyepieces I purchased from him.  As always, very kind on the phone and he hoped to mail them today.  Can’t wait to try the new eyepieces on the scope.
