ADDENDUM - Yes, like an idiot I decided no sleep was as good as little sleep, so I went back outside after writing up my previous adventures. I had left Starry Night runing on the pc here, saw that the belt of the Milky Way had risen again, etc ..... *sigh*
Quick synopsis of my 30 minute sky tour: Crux, Jewel Box, Eta Carina (the star, not the Carina nebula, I can tell you that with sunrise so close there is VERY little nebula to see!) NGC 3293 & 3532 and Southern Pleaides clusters, general troll around the area. Then swinging scope north observed M44 Behive Cluster, and a little further east Saturn!!! Twice in just over a week I've seen her framed against an early morning sky. Only 1 moon visible, and Saturn is somewhat wavery and wobbly, but great to see it anyway!
That's it, scope is back under cover, birds have been singing WAY too long - time for bed.
G'night!
