Was a fantastic night. Get there to see the Sky Crane do its thing. Even though we had to wait until midnight for clear skies it really didn't feel that long because of the great company as usual. Was a shame the skies didn't clear for the firies that attended. Object of the night has to go to seeing the Horsehead Nebula in Alex's 17.5" dob. A VERY close second goes to the Fornax galaxy cluster in Alex's scope again. Lost count of the galaxies in that field! To top off the night we also saw 2 ISS passes and then watched dawn creep its way across the sky. On the way home, I don't know how I had any more energy but I took a detour to the Three Sisters for some sunrise shots. Lots of image processing to get through, will post them soon. But my first priority is to catch up on much needed sleep after getting home at approx 8am! Fantastic night and can't wait to do it all over again.
