It’s been blowing a gale all day today but I decided to risk it and set up, nervously clinging on to the rig and observing hutch as gusts slammed into them, battering them with their intensity.

Due to wind induced vacillation, I was late setting up so the Moon had set below the roof, Mercury was well gone leaving only Mars, Venus & Saturn rapidly diving into the roofline. I forgot to unscrew the UV/IR filter off the front of the 70-200mm lens so ended up with filter flare.

The sloping dark shape at bottom frame is our roofline. A somewhat comical and at times challenging session, but at least it was clear!

Cheers

Dennis
