Tell me about it! I finally took delivery of my scope last Saturday and I haven't been able to use it yet!!! Still, it's given me a lot of time to read the manual, play with the hand controller, compile a list of targets etc. Hopefully tonight it will see "first light" - Weather Underground is predicting only 29% cloud cover at 11pm tonight.

Stupid clouds. I guess they're necessary though.

Stupid clouds.

If that didn't happen to you, then you are not a true amateur astronomer! So in a warp sense of logic, count yourself lucky!
