Got the scope out for 3 hours here in Colac, no clouds, nice and still about 7 deg (nearly tropical for this place!). Had a ball, knocked over 3 new objects for my Messier list (M15, M2 and M29). Also enjoyed 47tuc, the Ring and Dumbell and a bit of a look at ol' Jove. M29 was a killer, very low and trying to pick it up between branch of trees, but I got it.
Probably the most enjoyable night out in the last 6 weeks. The previous night was one of those "teaser" night. All these little clouds moving in and out and forming just where yoiu want to look!
Forecast for the next 2 nights down here is not good but should improve after that.
