I got up at 4:30 with high expectations, but I found almost complete cloud cover, which happens a lot when good seeing is predicted for this time of the day. Maybe has something to do with the proximity of Port Philip Bay - I'm only a couple of k's from the beach.

Anyway, I spotted Mars through thinner cloud and decided to check the seeing. It looked much better than on the previous sessions this apparition, so I decided to go ahead and at least try to get a red avi.

Amazingly, by 5am the clouds have thinned out enough to go for RGB.
