How deceptive can our atmosphere be?
Beautiful clear night but.....! But on looking at the westerly jet stream that was and the prevailing northerly wind intertwined, made everything awash,just like the proverbial washing machine.
Just when you thought the cycle was over we got spun out, wrung out and hung out in anticipation of a good load to finish. Amongst the wash however was some reasonably good views of galaxies and a few clusters.
On the bright side, wouldn't have missed it, as meeting up again with everyone made for a great night.
Thanks to all again for looks through scopes and to Rod on filling us in on a few good targets with the Big Mother Mary R. With the rocky road (Geoff 1) and tim tams (Deeno & Geoff 2) and cigars (Geoff 3) certainly sweetened things up on the night. (Geoff's not necessarily in that order).
Nice to meet Emanuel on his first venture to the dark side and hope to meet again, and to Joe and family and Greg.
See yawl next time and here's looking to Lockstock (Lostock) hopefully with some smokin' barrels.
Cheers
