Hazy cloud for much of the night, but didn't stop me working around the favourites - limited by moonlight and melbourne's skyglow. Seeing seemed to be up and down, never great. Spent most time on the Moon - first real opportunity with my scope. Well, I cannot see the craterlets in Plato at first attempt - my maximum magnification is 266 - unless I hold the 9mm eyepiece steady out of the barlow and keep cranking the focuser in as I move it further from the OTA! Don't think it was designed for that procedure, but it was fun trying.
Seemed to aggravate my sore throat and runny nose which developed this morning (couple of days after the rest of the family). Lemsip and off to bed. Big day tomorrow - my dob base is going to join forces with Ebonystar!
