tried to see the planets

Scuppered. Around 2:30 PM or so, it was looking like it was going to be clear at sunset. So I put the OTA outside to cool. I was keen to have a look at the planets in the C8—they should fit now, with the baader. I wanted to show Rhonda. A historic view. I could verify a good position for the mount in the yard. And do a quick camera test. But it was not to be. A front slowly shifted northward, crabbing over Bradford. Boo.
