I rolled the refractor out; it is always a joy using an apochromatic refractor. The 85mm eyepiece (10x) gives a very wide and crisp field, but has some dust on the field lens that needs cleaning. Even when the sky was not yet dark, 175X gave a crisp Moon. Tracking was beautifully accurate. I definitely need to put the 12" extension on the mount or extend the legs; I was on the ground at one point trying to look through the finderscope. Then the clouds rolled in from the East.
