Redid the drift alignment. Repeated the steps for extra precision. Then restarted the mount for a fresh two star alignment. Things seemed better with the GoToStar, the target in the finder scope closer to centre. Still, not perfect pointing.
Rhonda joined me for the evening show. No fuzzies allowed. We tried a few suggestions from Sissy Haas, enjoying the colours.
Then I readied for NGC 6520. Unbelievably, I got it! Yes! Not perfect but still, some decent frames. Wow. Wow!
Switched back to visual for a few more doubles, a return to Pallas, and a quick trip to glorious Saturn!
Now that was a good night!
