Been AWFUL overcast here in QLD. Went to bed last night, over cast. Got up for a call of nature, and looked up. OH GAWD! If it was not 2am, I would have set up!
I have NEVER seen better seeing. Not a single star flicker! I could see a LOT of nebulosity naked eye, let alone finally seeing a vast galactic swathe for the first time from this location of light pollution. It was like being in the country!:eyepop: I could not believe it, so I grabbed the binos and stood there for the next 45 minutes.
Now, if it stays that way tonight, I will be cranking out the images.
