Astroboy certainly did get a run.
Our balcony was facing north with a fairy low horizon. Just a mountain range and one of the runways of Nadi Airport between me and the stars. See the pic below of Ursa Major.
There were a few clouds hanging around at night, so I only got to take happy snaps of constellations. Nothing deep.
In the next pic, if you look real close you can see, from left to right, M51, M101 an M102.
You could see M101 naked eye.
