It was a very good evening from the inner city; the seeing was a bit of a mixed bag, but the transparency was excellent. I turned on the fan & the tracking, parked the XW 7 in the 14" focuser (230x) & off I went. Spotted four craterlets in Plato - you can't beat a big, fast dob for lunar observing.

Saturn was a compelling sight too & the colours seemed more intense than usual - must have been the transparency.
