You only used to be able to see it when there was cloud above Canberra. Now its a smallish but distinct light dome without cloud.

Mind you its still very dark at my site. I often watch the Milky Way for a long time whilst I do these nightscapes. Very enjoyable when its not cold.

I saw a very bright green fireball last night. The brightest I have seen. It lit up its area of the sky for a second. It went behind a hill but I saw clearly for a second. I have often wanted to see one. Magic.

Greg.
