Along with the good company and excellent seeing, esp on Saturn,
there was an extra surprise benefit. Felix's tube and mount got a
thorough washing. It's not often that a sonotube and Dobs mount get
thoroughly washed. The primary and secondary mirrors stayed blessedly
dry, but everything else got sopping wet. By the time everything had
been put away at home, tube and mount were all sparkly.
Clear, dry skies!
