I couldn't believe my eyes last night, was putting the dog out for a leak before locking up, and saw pristine heavens. Nothing was going to stop me! On with the observing gear, and out into the backyard for an impromptu session. I had a nice time with the Mary Rose for about 90 mins until some winds blew up and spoilt the fun.
Man, am I suffering withdrawal symptoms!?
I didn't do any "serious observing", just patrolled some of the gems at this time of year. M42 almost knocked my socks off and the LMC put on a fine show. Ahhhhh, I am a happy man.
I hope we get some decent skies tonight.
