Wow, I had one of those last night. I thought I was being mocked, because it clouded over quite a bit at about 9:30 last night. I came back out just after 11, and all I could see were stars! Glorious stars!

So I grabbed the scope, set it up, and the stars didn't go away!

I saw the Sculptor galaxy, 47 Tuc, The Tarantula, The Great Orion and attached nebulae, a couple of the southern Caldwell objects, and quite a few more.

A great couple of hours behind the eyepiece. I'm glad I bothered to set things up.
