Guy and Adrian came over last night. For such short notice I'm happy with that. They left my place at around 3am.

Poor Guy got an earful too, . But Guy, I hope the night proved helpful. That cake, Guy, ooohhhh, nice!

We managed to show Guy a few galaxies, and some little tricks on how to best spot them from light polluted areas. Pinned a couple of Planetary Nebulae and several emission nebulae, and what OIII and UHC filters do best on each type. Several GC's too and how magnification can help with resolving them. Jupiter had its GRS on show too.

I for one had a good time chewing the fat. I DON'T think I made too many outlandish claims, and Adrian was a good task master there, .

I even remembered to take a pic!

If anyone else would like me to do another night, just let me know.

Mental.
