Thanks Ric.
Last night was much better! Seeing and transparency were very good, all night long.
Spent an hour or so imaging Luna at around 6:30pm last night, then got up this morning at 2:30am to do some ED80/350D imaging of M42, and M46/M47. My polar alignment wasn't spot on, so I was limited to 90s exposures (unguided). It got light so early!
I then moved onto Mars, and then Venus. I wanted to capture Saturn as well, but the sky was so bright by then I couldn't even find it anymore!
I've got a lot of image processing ahead of me! It's going to take days to get through this lot.
It was also great to see a few Orionids as they streaked through the sky. I didn't see many, because I was mostly looking down and not up, but the ones I saw were bright! One left a streak that took 1-2 seconds to fade away.
A lovely night.. haven't had one like this in a long time.
