Have you thought about leaving your observatory open to the ambient temperature?The Moon an hour ago. Not very high in the sky at the time. 2000 mm mirror lens, f/11 @ 1/250 sec. Lots of atmospheric distortions. You can see how wavy the outline of the Moon looks. In the finder the outline was wobbly. I didn't acclimatize the lens sufficiently, causing the focal length to continually change due to barrel contraction. The temperature was dropping rapidly already before sunset and I didn't want to wait hours for the temperature to stabilize.

Here's a 100% crop*of the picture I posted earlier. The Mare Humorum, the dark circular basaltic plain just left and below of the center of the image has a diameter of ca 260 miles. That's what a 260-mile object looks as seen through our atmosphere from near sea level at a distance of ca 220,000 miles at 20x optical magnification.

A classmate of mine told me a story about a road trip he and three friends were taking across Montana. They came upon a wrecker that was towing a Kenworth (tractor) backwards on the interstate.
The driver started tailgating the towed truck like in the image above. 1-2-3 and the three guys that were awake started screaming. The sleeping passenger woke suddenly and gave birth to a litter of kittens.
I'd love to answer that by quoting the legend Cameron Mitchell (Terror in Beverly Hills) but company policy doesn't allow it.
Wait! Don't tell me... your telescope is housed in the old bean factory?
Pablo's the one with the bean factory.

You are joking, right? I mean, you really can't reason that a handicapped person may have driven the motorized cart from the store to their car and unloaded their groceries/purchases into their car. Then, not having the strength or physical ability to walk all the way back to their car after returning the motorized cart to the store, they left it, knowing that a store employee will be around shortly to pick it up.
You may read that last sentence and thought, "What does he mean, 'all the way back?' It isn't that hard to walk from the parking lot to a car." For most of us, you would be right. But for someone who has to use a motorized cart, it may be very difficult and painful.
Due to a serious injury, my wife has had to use motorized carts for some time, while shopping. On many occasions, the baggers have told her to just leave the motorized cart next to the parking spot, and they will gladly come out and get it, later.
I really hope that you wouldn't call my wife "a rea piece of
" or a "low life". She feels bad enough about having to use the motorized carts, without those that would judge her for it.

I was kind of confused why people where mad about that picture. It seemed kind of obvious to me that people who need a n electric cart can't easily take it back.You are joking, right?
