16/4/12 Spectacular Galaxy Night!
Well finally a really nice night here in Colac. Still, clear, no smoke!
Galaxies galore for the taking. Will publish a full list later but easily the best views of Cenraurus A and M83 I have ever seen, and that includes from Snake Valley!
The arms in M83 were clear and the overall galaxy was much larger than I have ever seen even in the 17mm Ethos at 88x. Cent A had clear dark lanes weaving in and out and again the faint outer halo was clear to see.
Shame I had to come in!
