It was 100% cloud for most of last evening at my place too (and a bit of rain as well), so I cancelled the session at the Retirement Village with my father.
But at about 8:50 a nice hole in the clouds opened up around the Moon. I grabbed my scope and set it up, and managed to watch for 20 minutes as Saturn slid out of view - beautiful! I had no time to set up a decent camera, but I got a few blurry shots on my phone camera held up to the eyepiece (but not good enough to post here!)
Then the clouds and rain returned - and that was it for the night!
Here's hoping for better skies in August!
