Sorry I missed it. The skies in the late afternoon looked to me like is wouldn't be worth the drive to the Peak.John Hales was right. He said he thought it would be ok at the Peak.

We missed you too Rich! We had fun putting my bino-viewer into different scopes. Worked great in my 12.5" Meade dob, Ken's 8" SCT, and Bruce's 17.5" Starmaster, but was just short of focus in Mark's 20" Obsession. For me, the bino highlights were the Eskimo Neb and any globular. A few galaxies were pretty nice, but not knock-your-socks off. Also had some nice views of Mars - Polar cap, Hellas, some dark markings (don't know what area it was) but the seeing was not so steady when I was looking, just moments of steady air.
