I had the Intes out on Monday night here in Cairns. Despite it being a wonderfully cool dry season night, the dew was horrific & the seeing even worse...

Best views of Saturn were with a 17mm Vixen LVW but, even with that I could not resolve Cassini division... seeing was just horrible... twinkly stars, both Saturn & Jupiter were fluttering in & out of focus. Any higher power just resulted in a homogenous blob...

Most disappointing...
