Yes indeed I did have great seeing last night, it seemed best around midnight but I packed up shortly afterwards. I had my 16" out for another look around the Horsehead and various nebulas with different filters. I did also look at the Grus Quartet, having first seen it out at Bretti I use it as a regular gauge of comparative sky quality, and the group was well displayed and approaching Bretti definition. I have a new Sky Quality Meter (just arrived today) and I am going to start using it on a regular basis. It would be nice to have a network of these Sky Quality Meters and a place that people could publish their local readings. It works on magnitude per square arcsecond readings.
BTW with the conditions here right now I am expecting tonight to be good again and already have the dob in position.
