I've not long come in after the most awesome night in my whole astronomical career (of 5 mths anyway). Came in at 1.30am from the freezing cold and just out of a long hot shower and now hot Milo in hand. My hands were so frozen and that scope was so cold! Note, to self- gloves are a necessity! My fleecy boots were pure bliss. No dew, fantastic clear night. I finally got to give my new Pentax ep it's first proper work out. That added more bliss to the night, and then I pegged the most targets that I have in one night. Dew just started as I was packing up. My first winter observing in the b****y freezing cold - I'm very proud of myself cause I'm such a sook when it comes to cold weather. I'm so excited, i feel on such a high, I'm going sleep now with a big smile on my face!
