Hi All,
Just a quick note to say that the seeing in Sydney tonight is very good.
I've just seen Sirius B near zenith for the 3rd or 4th time in my life using a 12" f/5 dobsonian newtonian at x428 -- seen with little difficulty.
Splitting Nu Orionis was a doddle at only x140 and Saturn looks superb, despite its fairly low altitude at 8.20pm.
Get amongst it while you can, moonlight or no! Imagers take note!
Best,

N.B for Nu Orionis, read "Eta Orionis" instead -- see below
