Right, so for my first night out, I'm not expecting a fat lot. In fact, I'm not sure if I'm even going to take any exposures. First come the joys of polar alignment, focus practice and seeing if there's any merit to my cobbled together guide scope!

I may inadvertently take a photo of one of my cats - they tend to climb up my leg when I'm out there in the dark, and I wouldn;t put it past one of them to ascend my tripod!

The sky is clear, night is on the way, so out I go!!
