Finally some clear nights ahead on the east coast of NSW after a miserable 2022 with La Niña
Tonight in Sydney is clear , reasonable seeing , light wind to keep to dew at bay until late
The weekend and most of next week is looking promising , fingers crossed
Oh and no moon around too

Enjoy if your out observing or imaging

Cheers

Too right, after a a bit of a mixed grill of a night last night, Eagleview is sure turning it on tonight :cool: Two stars visible in the Coal Sack, the Milky Way looks like a huge bright Brontasaurus rising, full of a miriad of dark rivulets!.. and the LMC is huuuge with its outer sprial like arms noticable! Meridian seeing has cracked 1.5" too...woohoo...hope you are all enjoying yourselves too :thumbsup:

It's just hit -6C but low humidity so no dew, just a very fine frost...beeeaaautiful! :)

Ave guiding errors less than 0.2 arc sec = good seeing :)
