The power cord was threaded outside through the kitchen window.
The Celestron 8" Schmidt-Cassegrain tube was installed atop the Vixen Super Polaris mount. I put the plastic dew cap in place.
Finder scope installed and aligned.
The dew heaters were installed and powered. The Velcro end on the eyepiece strap was a little flimsy, on its last threads... I hoped the end bit wouldn't fly off the porch in a snow bank.
The mount already felt a little stiff to move about, as the temperature dropped.
Netbook was in the kitchen staying warm, custom observing list ready.
I had suited up with ski pants and 5 layers on the torso.
I should come up with a name... The Overlook? Ha ha ha!
