We all expected it to be dewy and damp last night, but it wasn't. Makes up for all the nights we expected it to be great and we got soaked. I did not have a dew heater and my C 9.25 was fine with just a Mark Wagner dew shield. The finderscope may have had a little mist on the objective after three hours, but nothing serious. Even the unshielded Telrad was OK. Now my charts (sadly unused with the new go mount) did have 1/4 inch of hoarfrost by 11:00...

As to temps my car said 43 degrees when I left. But my portable thermometer said 32. I think that means the thermometer was getting frosty, nothing more.

M46 rules, by the way.

Oh, and Jamie don't go to Dino without me.
