What a 70 mm telescope actually shows from a suburban garden, and why the first three nights were a disappointment that was entirely my fault.
Winter nights are long and clear, and every glass surface I own fogs or frosts within forty minutes. What has actually worked, and what made it worse.
Summer nights are short and wet. Twenty minutes, a cereal box and some black tape stopped my objective lens fogging over halfway through every session.
