Will you be able to see the Saturn/Jupiter conjunction from your location?
I might make a run up to the ski hill if the Wx is clear. It is an hour drive so the forecast will have to be a good one.
Keep calm and set SCE To AUX

Re: Will you be able to see the Saturn/Jupiter conjunction from your location?
If I go portable, to give me more positioning options, I'll probably use the C-90 with a
Using the Newt, I have a motorized focuser, and the ASI is tethered, so I can focus on the monitor. Using the C-90, I will have to pre-focus and mark the focuser in case it slips, hoping that the temperature doesn't shift the focus too much. The C-90 has the world's worst focuser, and the 350D can't be tethered to a computer and only has a teeny-tiny LCD screen on the back, so focusing in the field will be next to impossible in the time available.
