Hii Mike & All,
Yep these last two nights have been rather nice in the context of the last few months. I spent both under the sky at Sydney Obs, with a public group on Sunday the seeing was good and the transparency was very good. When I got home that night to Engadine, I could see mag 5.4 stars with little diifficulty -- a good 0.2 to 0.3 mags fainter than usual.
Last night was the final night of a course I run there and we were out under the sky with several different 'scopes including my own 18". The transparency wasn't quite as good as Sunday but the seeing was a nice steady 7/10. Saturn was a sensation at 11pm when I packed up and all night, the star images at x247 had been very tight.
I think your raw data will be of high qualiity Mike!
Hope it holds for the weekend!
Best,
Les D
