Edgar,
You know, vibrations in and of the house will spoil any views with the
telescope, unless you have the telescope mount isolated from the house
structure upon its own concrete, masonry, or metal pier which runs to an
independent foundation, not touching any of the house, nor house foundation.
BTW, several of the formal namings I've made of asteroids I've discovered
during searches for Earth-Approaching asteroids could be of interest to members
of this Group:
Haiku
Samadhi
Suiseki
Wabi-Sabi
(I leave off their permanent catalog numbers for convenience)
I've named minor planets for lots of musicians, too, but none of these bear
overtly on our topic.
My comet discoveries are all automatically named for the discoverer by default,
whether I like it or not. ;-)
Full Moon should be quite close to Jupiter, maybe closest on about 28 Nov,
23:15 UTC, at moonrise time in NJ. Others around the world will see it when
they see it!
