A nice night and morning in Parkes
Yesterday evening: cloudy.
I woke op at 02:00 and saw it was clear so I put my telescope outside and watched Jupiter and a few deepskies. M104, Leo Triplet, Omega centauri and Centaurus A (NGC 5139) where the dark dust band is easily discernible.
Between 8 and 9 it was still clear well in daylight, but I looked up Jupiter on which I even could discern the GRS... in daylight ! At 60x is was easier than 128x due to only moderate seeing. And found Saturn and even Fomalhaut, only 19 degrees from the Sun.
