Magic night!

Gday mate,

I was out as well last night I didnt see what you saw but damn what a magic night... for the city (bald hills) it was so clear. Through my little 6" i saw the faint whisps of Eta Carinae and its nebulosity area along with about 15-20 pinpricks of light (im still a little confused on that region.. is eta carinae the star or the neb?) then i moved onto NGC 3114 which is just mindblowing and onto the Southern Pleiades which looks like a mini southern cross.

Also from the 7th till 18th no rain predicted!
