Last year as a birthday present, the missus approved the purchase of a telescope. I got a Celestron Nextar Evo 8 from Mike. I've used it a few times and it works well. It took a while but I finally got around to ordering some EP. Yesterday I received a TV Panoptic 24mm and Baader Morpheus 12.5mm. I still have 2 others on order, a TV Delite 15mm and a Baader Morpheus 17.5mm. I was surprised at how small the TV Pano 24 was. I was expecting it to be bigger.

And it was cloudy yesterday and last night. I did get a peak at Venus in Mars in close proximity with binos after sunset. The dog got me up at 4am with an upset stomach so he could go eat some grass. It was not too humid and very clear. I'm sure it'll be cloudy every night this week.
