I think we had a good night on the main night that year. The year before we never saw the sky, something I remeber well as I'd burnt the midnight oil to finish the 8" binos and they hadn't seen first light.
I can see Wayne Stewart and David Ash who were working at Astro Optical Supplies as was I at the time.
I think the best year was 2003/2004. I've never seen M33 in Triangulum naked eye so clearly since.
