Roy,

Of course it was perfect weather last night, I had to go out.

I was going to go out to Crago observatory at North Richmond tonight, will it be worth it?

What about next weekend at Wiruna?

Thanks

Frank

finally a crystal clear night last night. I got to see saturn for the first time!!!! WOW it looked amazing. However i dont think the seeing was that great because i kept getting a shimmering watery effect when looking at mars.

Agreed Roy Hope we get more nights just like it.

Managed to somehow flounder my way through a new mount and camera and got some shots of M42:

It is nothing spectacular, I am just happy I managed to get something

How can you tell? From Castle Hill at the moment it looks pretty cloudy in the direction of Richmond/Bowen Mountain.

I could come & drive everyone batty with Bob's Knobs and SCT collimation questions.

Well, just take a punt and hope. Clear out my way in the Inner West but that means nothing. Over an hour for me to get there so bit of a gamble...

Went up to Crago Observatory at Bowen Mountain last night and the sky was clear all night and the seeing was fabulous. Got some decent imaging done for the first time in months.

There was a good roll up too.

The forward "looks" valid

SYDNEYSTARGAZERS.COM. 1969 IN A 68.178.232.100

however

100.232.178.68.in-addr.arpa. 3600 IN PTR parkwebwin-v01.prod.mesa1.secureserver.net.

so I'd guess someone hasn't paid the bills.
