    Unfortunately yes. I got all excited only to have my dad share that reality with me haha. Oh well. I guess it'd be hard to see anyways over here on the East Coast. By that time, the sun will have risen. Looks like I'll be youtube-ing it or catching replays on the news.

    Most of the time the atmosphere, not aperture, will limit what you can see with telescopes in that size range. I'll try and get up and have a look tomorrow morning
