No I am not pulling your leg either, if you have a look at http://weather.wvec.com/auto/wvec/gl...JetStream.html you would have noticed that we had no Jetstream, matter-of-fact the twinkling over Newcastle at that time in the morning was virtually nil even right to the horizon. The sky was extremely contrasty and the moon really didn't seem bright. Looking north in Pegasus area I was able to make out smudges, one with a definite tail, the other just the smudge. The tail was not big. Really surprised me with the seeing conditions.
