Tony grabbed me. We headed to "telescope hill." Where Malcolm and Drew and Dave were set up.
Briefly viewed Venus and Saturn in Malcolm's big refractor. A "TEC" refractor. The APO140ED I believe. On a AP mount and tripod I think.
The 'scope has a focal length of 980 mm and a focal ratio of 7.0. I thought it curious Malcolm was unclear about the numbers and powers. Tony explained it was because he's a imager. Ha!
The detail on Saturn was very good.

Limited viewing opportunities tonight. Mostly cloudy. But, frankly, I was OK with it. I needed to rest.
