haha, it was a reasonably clear night out here in gatton too, well it seemed that the weather was against me while trying to polar align, literally i'd point the scope at a star and within 2 minutes clouds rolled in over that star, forcing me to find another... and another... and another, this went on and on and on, right up until the moon rose, at which time the cloud peeled back and left me with a crystal clear, if somewhat moonlight polluted sky. but you could still pick out the biggies (m42, eta carina, LMC, etc) with the naked eye. i had my eye set on a few galaxies and nebulas, but the clouds were against my finding them. a better night than hoped for.
