Barb,
We had a great but brief night last night, the cloud rolled in and got too thick, but we were very happy with what we got to see. But the cloud as it came in did give some great effects, altering the "glow" and at stages some colour. We really enjoyed seeing the bands of colour for the first time, and identifying the three moons, we could not make out Io.
I did start "playing" with filters, but gave that up due to the cloud and decided to spend what time we had filter-less.
I have had a look already at weather sites, and as Kim went to work it was decided that we would go "scoping" again tonight, if everything holds out.
Btw, we will probably be down there again before the end of the month, and yes, off to Bintel with the OTA under arm to start getting ready for the next expansion.
Cheers
Andrew
