Correction
Hi All,
I know I'm replying early (and thanks for the thumbs-up), but I'm not sure how this report actually made it on to IIS. I was most of the way through typing it up when for some reason the server that hosts IIS seemed to have a dummy spit and put up a rejection message because it deemed the post a duplicate of a previous post I made. I then had a dummy spit ... and I was too tired to start over last night.
Imagine my surprise when I arrived home after work today to find the post/thread restored. There is one major alteration I made this afternoon to the original post -- it is this par:
"In the main my recorded observations revolved around some galaxies in Hydra and then later on I spent quite a bit of time in the immediate surroundings of Omega Centauri (NGC 5139) -- there is a surprising amount to be seen here. Unfortunately I can't presently share those observations with you because I'm hoping to turn them into a Deep Sky Delights article for AS&T about this time next year. So, if you want to read "Pt 2" of this report, you have to buy AS&T probably April next year."
So, originally my report would have been a "triple-post" to start the thread, but unfortunately you're getting the expurgated version this month.
I'm off to Mudgee next month (April) for four nights at the SASI Mudgee Star Party so hopefully I can break my record of two years ago when I had four perfectly clear nights and post an "11-post observing report thread opener".
Best,
Les D
P.S ... and yes Malcolm, all with the 18" -- the 12" has been in pieces for a while in the shed because it is my present intention to re-build it as a dob. Just gotta find the time to do it !
