Took the 28" f4.2 out last night. Peter Read had sprinkled his magic fairy dust on it a few days earlier. Magnificent viewing of Mars and Saturn about 1 hour east of Perth, best views of those planets ever. Air was cold and still with some dewing. Mars was like looking at Gorbachovs head, the dark areas looked like continents on a pink ocean, ice cap had a black eye. Saturn was awesome, the crepe ring was ash grey I swear I could see the planet through it, best encke ever. I'm ruined, all nights from now on will compare this one. Also split Antares for kicks Antares B a lovely green. I wish I had witnesses.
