What a pleasant night. Shorts, t-shirts and thongs were the order for the entire night and with the humidity a steady 40% for the majority of the evening, dew never became a issue.
The surprise was how good the sky was. Steady enough to break out the rarely used 5mm Radian on Saturn to reveal a crisp Cassini division during moments of real clarity. This in turn inspired a tour through Carina with the 5mm and a session splitting close doubles.
Thanks for the peek through the SDM Phil, nothing quite like a quality large aperture dob with the bells and whistles (sigh!).
Great to see you all and what’s with this growing epidemic of showing up minus telescope ?
If all viewing sessions were like this we wouldn't have much to complain about...........
