Great!

Hi Eric,
Thanks for the report on what sounded like a fruitful observing run.
Touring the globulars in Sagittarius and Scorpius is one of my favourite things.
You are fortunate to get some clear skies compared to the week of wet weather
here in Sydney. We are helping with sky tours on a large public observing
night this Saturday, but it is looking 50/50 weather-wise at the moment.
