can I get away polar-scope-based polar alignment
<egg|laptop|egg>
s/away/away without/
<galois>
egg|laptop|egg meant to say: can I get away without polar-scope-based polar alignment
<raptop>
a "yeah, that looks about right" alignment? Probably depends on eggsposure times
<egg|laptop|egg>
(pole visibility requires bringing the scope out as opposed to staring through the french window)
<egg|laptop|egg>
aaaaaaa it is colde
<egg|laptop|egg>
aaaaaaaaa
<egg|laptop|egg>
aaaaaaaaaaaa
<raptop>
Is the scope operable with gloves?
<egg|laptop|egg>
well, using CCD, the scope is operable in bed while fully dressed
<egg|laptop|egg>
might make pointing tricky
<egg|laptop|egg>
and polar alignment requires exposure to thecold
<egg|laptop|egg>
I wonder whether I can livestream astrophoto,

Webex, google hangouts, etc?

UmbralRaptop: should I try the whirlpool or the pinwheel
<raptop>
Bode's!

I'd guess that whirlpool is easier than pinwheel

IIRC M101 is like M33 in that it's decently bright, but low surface brightness. So if you have much light pollution....

Hrm, how's the Sombrero where you are?
