The last 3 Observers standing were Lance, his wife Leslie and myself. We pulled the plug about 1am on Sunday morning. Everyone else had already succumbed to "photon fever" and serious lack of sleep.
I returned to Sydney late yesterday afternoon. We had as good a patch of weather as you could possibly hope for. Essentially 9 perfect nights in a row. The only exception was 3 hours lost from 9pm to 12am on Friday night, due to some localised high cloud. The cloud cleared at midnight and left us again with pristine observing conditions. That 3 hours lost was a blessing for me as I had almost observed myself to dropping point.
As good as it gets.
Cheers,
John B
