And the words that he spaketh did come to pass.
And those who heard this word shall never doubteth again.
And the words " It will clear " rangeth out in the night for all to hear.
Well Geoff said it would clear.......and it did.....even if it was on and off.
Those who set up a scope were treated to some old favourites before the heavy dew took hold.
Mars was a nice sight as well as Saturn later on when it was high in the sky.
I also observed some nice double stars ( Acamar, Rigel, Alpha Crux) and even a lovely triple in Monoceros. Beta Monoceros I believe.
The triple was a lovely close system that looked very nice indeed at a medium power ( 164 times ).
I was not dissapointed and had my eye to the eyepiece most of the night.
The clouds finally closed in again so we called it a night around 3am or so I think.
Thanks to those who turned up and also those who voted me to
return the key.
It was an experience being harrassed by the local dog when
locking the gate..........in the dark...
