Impressive observation list for one night.
I feel like that's simply a result of having only 8 inches of aperture.? With the exception of showpiece objects, 10-15 minutes or so with each target and I've pretty much eeked out all the detail I'm going to for that night.? I suspect with more aperture there might be reason to linger a little longer on each target - trying different magnifications and such.? I had planned to do more eyepiece sketching as a way to slow down and see as much as the C-8 can show, but when the dew is soaking everything I find it really hard to do, especially if anything needs to be erased.? I've been contemplating getting some "write in the rain" paper to tackle this.? Expensive though, I'd hate to make a mistake and have to throw it out.? Or, have one of my kids grab it unknowingly and use it all up drawing puppies, or something.
