I had a pretty decent night observing near Yass last night with an 18"f5.6. Able to get short periods of steady images with a 7mm Nagler (365x) on the Moon, Jupiter and Saturn. Fantastic detail.


I discovered life on the Moon I observed a shadow of a mountain ridge that looked just like a stegosaurus.

The mirror fogged up before Mars was high up. Even low down, could see large polar cap and some surface detail at 70X on Mars. So I packed up, drove back in fog, that in patches was very thick. Had to slow right down to 40kph at some points due to low visibility.
