You should have stayed after all Glen, oh well. We had a great night. Usual clouds at sunset, and then clear sky an hour or so later. Allan and I ploughed our way around the sky until about 2:30am. SQM averaged at 21.55, so the same as Chaffey.
We looked at everything we could think of. Planets, asteroids, galaxies, nebulae, clusters, meteors, satellites. I managed to observe the last of the Messier galaxies in Virgo with my 10x50's, so I have observed all the Messier objects with the binoculars now.
We had a bit of dew but the heaters kept that at bay, and then the fog rolled in early this morning again. I was happy to get in 2 long clear nights of observing, and the day time weather was good as well.
It's only 2 hours drive, so I think I will make it a semi regular trip around the new moon. Even for 1 or 2 nights only. Time will tell. Thanks guys for your company. Cheers
