Wednesday evening I set up the Zenithstar 110 refractor on the Minitower for about two hours of enjoyable sidewalk astronomy near the Parking Garage in Portsmouth. There were lots of very enthusiastic visitors.
I left the scope pointed at the Moon all evening since Saturn was hiding behind the garage most of the time. The "Straight Wall" (Rupes Recta) was easily visible and everyone was able to find it easily once I pointed it out. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rupes_Recta
Temperature was below 10F so I tried the new chemical heater pads for feet. My toes still got cold. Are electric socks in my future?
