I finally made it to Starfest! Temperature was +14C to +11C with excellent transparency and moderate dew. I pounded with the MX7C all night long, topping off the session with some images of Comet 2002 O6 near lambda Orionis during twilight. There were some cool breezes that jiggled the scope a bit a couple of times and resulted in some lost images (and compromised my focus with the comet).
