No. Wall-to-wall clouds. Clouding over again now, looks like it will be no break in the clouds in Eastern Australia till Christmas.

Nice, I've got one on order with JTW. Fingers crossed it will come soon.

Interesting data from the visual guys. Looks to go up, then comes straight back down. All within tolerance of simple estimation error. I was as keen to do some photometry as I was to take some spectra. I have a little 3.30 am routine: 12 SA spectra, shift the camera to the guidescope, 12 V exposures, 12 B exposures, by which time twilight is upon us ...
