Hi Lester

After replacing the Mewlon collimating bolts, struggling through two power outages, dodging cloud banks to tweak my collimation, struggling with fatigue from the previous 3:00am day/nighter, I figured that someone was hinting that I should pack up and have an early night.

So, after finally collimating between cloud sets, I slewed to a lowish Saturn to be greeted with poor seeing so I had a quick visual peek and managed to see the silhouette of Titan and its shadow on the disc of Saturn, before packing up and having an early night.

I awoke to complete cloud cover although Tony (Firstlight) seems to have fared better, just a few kms south of me.

I can wait another 15 years!

Cheers

Dennis
