Mr Keeler's "Encke" would not reveal itself............. 
Thankfully the planet provides so much more detail and the dance of its moons provide yet another challenge for the keen observer.....
But the 3am starts in -3C are a bit much for my aging joints  |
Be consoled by the fact you and I boith saw it out in The Paddock...you with the TEC Mak and me with the AP Star 12. It is quite the sight.
Cold...yeah, takes all enthusiasm. Woke up this morning... -2.7° (felt temp -5.1°)...and it is not even winter yet.
My car duco is loving it.
