I packed it in around midnight as you mentioned the jet stream started to make it a little harder viewing.
Hey Thanx Chris, I believe the views could be betterra if the Jet moves on, been hanging around for weeks like they do Grrr but with only a half jet was a good improvement - just need to wait weeks or even months for a 'No Jet' night, Lol,

Tho there is a Northern Bend in the jet over West Aus at the moment, would like that to stay high into the Nth Territory as it moves east, may get a great night here (Jet gone would be fantastic) for a final test sooner than later, provinding the lower levels behave ???
