Beautiful night on the South Coast NSW
A rare clear moonless summer night on the South Coast with pretty good seeing conditions
Although humidity was up around 85 to 90% and nearly zero wind, there was almost no dew or sea fog.
Even the mozzies were quiet
Powered up my Dome and imaged Carina from 9.30pm to 2.00am , guiding was super smooth on the EQ8-R
I was contemplating wheeling out the 12” Goto dob from the garage around midnight for some observing but too tired, had a big day
A most enjoyable night with the band of the Milky Way spread across the night sky
I’m extremely fortunate to have a Bortle 3 imaging site ( retirement retreat ) on the south coast away from heavy light polluted Sydney with neighbours flood lights blasting your backyard. It’s somewhere where you can really relax , take it all in and enjoy our hobby to the max
Hope others had a great night last night !!!
Cheers
Martin
