Window astronomy for the lazy.
Quick session from the Hamburg office window on a cold, humid night, using a C5 on an old Vixen alt-az mounted on the sill — constrained view but workable after the room cooled down. Highlights were M13 and M92 in Hercules, a handful of doubles including Nu Dra and Rho Her, and a satisfying split of the Double Double in Lyra after a fresh collimation that made the effort worthwhile. Seeing started badly but finished strong, which salvaged what started as a lazy, low-commitment night.
Quick grab and go in the garden.
Clouds and lights, but some nice double stars, Uranus and Jupiter. I came with a long plan about fainter open clusters that did not survive the reality of the sky conditions. New neighbours with a huge TV and a very tiny dog. The mini-dog heard me in the garden and barked high-pitch for 20 mins until the neighbours wondered why the ruccus. No problem for me, but this is my territory, sorry.
