Great Seeing in WA

[WadeH]

Just come in from a short sesion with fantastic seeing and some old favorites.

The GRS on Jupiter very clear and lots of other detail. 47 Tuc resolved very nicely and had a fantasic view of M42 in Orion. The Trapeziun resolved so well that even the E and F stars were very easy to see! Finally some good viewing of M1 and then inside for sleep.

A friend had recently laser collomated my scope and the difference from using a collomating eyepiece is WOW, and so easy. Must get one of these set ups. :D :thumbsup:

Agreed! Went out about 11pm with the binos before hitting the sack and was startled as to how good it all looked. Best for quite some time for me.

:( you guys make me sad!

I was going to set up but as it was i didn't get home till 8pm and i was stuffed. I looked out the window at about 3am just before sunrise and the stars where still right down to about 30 deg :( and crystal clear!

tonight seems like it will be poo with the clouds again... This year has been absolute slop with close to 3 months of cloud followed by gale force winds and on the non gale force winded nights stars where dancing at zenith... its gotta get better sometime soon.
