Beautiful night in Melbourne!

:astron: :stargaze:
At last!
Been up looking at Jupiter, and I think I saw neptune.:D
Had a squiz at Venus through the trees.:D
I saw 47 Tucanae the other night with the naked eye, but by the time I got the scope out and set up, the fog had rolled in. :rolleyes:
Tried to find it this morning, but it was behind the massive pine tree.:mad2:
Oh well. It was nice being out.:D
Anyone else had a good night?

Hi Molly,
Yep!..had a few magical hours viewing last night..Carina look superb..(with the help of a UHC filter)..Saturn impressive as always as is Omega Centauri..and did the coffee go down well afterwards!!
Cheers!

Glad to hear that you had a great night! Sky was clear here in Albury but no viewing for me - visitors and red wine got in the way.

Cheers Petra d.

Was not free - just glimpsed the stars naked eye and sighed :sadeyes:

Glad to hear that others could partake! :thumbsup:

Spent a short time out with the binocs. Jewel Box, omega Centauri, eta Carina all clearly visible and lovely. Just getting over a rotten cold and didn't want to suffer more, so didn't take out the scope which would have meant a couple of hours out there. Certainly a beautiful night.

Transparency looked terrific last night. I was heading home at midnight and Jupiter was so bright. Got up this morning at 5:45 and the moon, Venus and Mars were stunning in the early morning sky. Scope in the wardrobe, bottle in the baby :)

Was clear down here in Berwick aswell, but had work until midnight........ now if only my grab n go Mak had a mount :(

Tonite looks ok aswell, but have work till early morning and thus the required grab n go factor is missing.

Tomorrow's forecast sucks, naturally, so no chance yet again I guess :mad2:

Days are getting longer now!
Won't be long till we're getting more clear skies everyone!
Hang in there.
:cold:..........:sunny:

And the 2 weekend days are perfectly overcast. What a surprise :mad2:

There's a new meterological term for a clear day after a few days of rain and cloud:

MONDAY
