Then crossed over the Las Trancos. At the trail entrance, take the first dirt path to the right, walk 35 steps up to the crest of a knoll. Move 10 feet in any direction. At least for PacBell, I chanced on the ONLY spot with any signal. Fine view of Mt. Tam, Mt. Diablo from this point.
Lot thins out.
I like DSC's better than the SS2K GoTo for a lot of reasons. I use the a cleverly clutched RA Motor only, allowing me to disengage RA and point quickly to any area of the sky with out affecting alignment, and reengage easily with a simple set screw twist. With the DSC's I am learning a lot more about the sky. Showed Jupiter and CIEG to the cute new Ranger, Sherry. Just out of Ranger Training School in her shiny new uniform.
