It was a pretty good night out tonight (Thursday) with good seeing up until about 9pm. No sign of smoke tonight.
I set up early initially for a visual session, but Saturn looked good at ~350x so I hooked up the camera and laptop and got in a few imaging runs. Hopefully, they'll turn out alright.
After that, it was back to visual and a nice tour of a few favourites.
I did notice a dramatic difference in transparency, and refraction, between low elevations and near the zenith - more than usual.
The jetstream forecast showed slower wind speed in a modestly-sized hole passing over Brissie between about 4pm and 10pm. By my estimation, that forecast was pretty accurate.
