So tomorrow night in Brisbane is expected to be very clear, if a little cool and breezy. Given it's possibly the first almost-guaranteed cloud free moonless Saturday night for quite some time in Brisbane, what are all you visual ladies and gents planning to put on your viewing lists?

well, Moogerah Dam last night wasn't worth the petrol.

Did the clouds roll in, was the seeing bad or were there too many lights from campers?
Cheers

No clouds, but probably the worst seeing I've ever encountered in my fledgling career. Impossible to split Acrux or Alpha Centauri, and Jupiter was just a bright hazy beige mess. Not a sharp star to be seen. Plus it was blowing pretty fiercely for most of the night, and cold to boot.

That's odd, the seeing on Friday and Saturday nights was quite good here in Bellbowrie. I agree about the wind though - it blew my truss tube carrying bag into the pool.

Yeah - my 'scope was getting battered in the back garden by strong gusts of winds, made auto guiding quite tricky!:)
Cheers
