Well I survived unmolested.... I think. If they wipe your brain before returning you then how can I be sure I wasn't abducted?

No strange marks on me or unexplained extra cash in my wallet.
Had 2 other DAGs turn up (or I think they were other members

) so maybe there's safety in numbers. There was a bit of smoke on the horizon but it turned out to be quite a good clear night up above, until the moon turned up that is.
I did have a UFO (maybe a satellite) traverse directly across my field of view whilst looking at the 47 Tucana globular. It looked very freaky and it wasn't visible to the naked eye at all. Going out again next week, hope I'm not pushing my luck.
