I've just about got the IOptron telescope mounting figured out. Once it's calibrated on a known star, I can have it whir around and find some invisible galaxy a gazillion light years away. Unfortunately, it's almost invisible in the telescope as well, with the bright moon and light pollution. In about ten days, the moon will be rising late enough that I can haul the scope out to Paynes Prairie or someplace and check out some planetary nebulae and stuff.
Meanwhile there are a few refinements...
