Bloody Mother Nature is teasing us a lot lately.

Methinks a crowd-funded amateur space based telescope is in order- I hear 'launch' costs for a SpaceX rocket are going dirt cheap, hahaha...
It was good conditions to about 2:30am so I can't reeeally complain I guess, plus I finished my target exposure - 18hrs, longest yet with my AG12 and collected in three nights

Yes watching the latest Space X launch made me think IMAGINE if that had happened on an Apollo launch pad, how that iconic footage of a slow thunderous Saturn V rising from the pad, complete with disengaging hoses and ice falling off... would have been different Werner's brilliance and NASA's almost 5% of federal budget funding pit probably helped
