Finally the wind dropped away, and together with very low humidity, produced great observing conditions here last night. Had a good hour prior to moonrise, touring the eastern sky faint fuzzies, and Southern Gems. So what if you can't travel - One benefit of the lockdown that I have noticed, is a noticeable reduction in light pollution (confirmed by my Sky Quality Metre). No lights from the pub/ shopping centre and tennis courts, and various other over lit attractions. Great time to make the most of what maybe the best local darkness you might ever have in your neighborhood.
