Yes, it has been nothing but cloudy skies since last tuesday.

I have at this very moment got it outside, there are one or two gaps in the clouds, through which I've looked at saturn and M42 so far. Just piggybacked my 300D on the back for a few pics, but they suck, due to no RA motor drive as yet.

and boy does the scope need collimating! I have no cheshire or sight tube so I've got no chance in getting good resolution at the moment.

...and it's bloody FREEZING!
