A quick note before I literally fall over. Clouded out here as soon as twilight was over. So threw everything in the car and drove over the otherside of the Tararua Ranges (the same mountains that were in my pics Thursday & Friday mornings). 180 km round trip, but it was worth it. Tail out to 30 degrees but it is harder to tell because the end is intermingled with bright Milkyway fields near Beta Centauri.
At one spot the transparency was so good I could see dark lanes from the Coal Sack region spreading right through Chamaleon. Always a sign of a good night. I'll process the pics later. It was clear when I got home but I am not sure for how long. I wasn't waiting around to find out. Maybe I will tonight though. It would be great to do some decent long exposures.
Wishing you all clear skies.
