Nice report Chrissyo.
Can't confirm if you did find the Ghost or not - but sounds like you were in the right area and there aint too many planetaries around there (none that are easy to stumble across anyway).
You should organise a lift out to Glenore Grove next time we go out. Getting some first hand help is great for identifying things. I think your idea of sketching is great. I was going to do some serious sketching this weekend but didn't make it out to a dark sky so I didn't bother. I did set up in my backyard in Brisbane and had some fun. The seeing was so steady last night I even managed an easy split of Antares (first time for me). The cloud belts on Jupiter were incredibly detailled. I could see the GRS dissapearing around the limb on twilight and there was a dark streak that started about a quater of the circumfrence behind the GRS in the same belt (SEB) and stretched back around the other side of the planet. I'll be curious to know if this feature shows up in some Jove shots from the weekend. The detail was dazzling...shame the GRS was disappearing!
I also noticed just about every time I looked up I saw a shooting star. A one point I looked up and saw one heading north and the about a second or two later I saw another one heading west.
Anyway, good reporting Chrissyo - I look forward to many more
