Wow,
What a great night at the Mangrove Pony Club.
Great to meet all you guys and enjoy a coffee and some great "seeing ".
from 12 to 2 am the air was the most still I have seen it for a long time. Although a few clouds came and went every now and then, it was great.
Comet 17P / Holmes was seen to the North, and was a lot bigger than we thought it was going to be, and only just appeared above the Northern Horizon for a short while. But the size of it caught us by surprise. It was visible to the naked eye.
I Already have the next night pencilled into my Diary. On the 8th December.
I will have my new scope well and truely up and running by then.
