Beautiful sky here at Berowra last night. I viewed with my 14" until 11pm then got up from 3am until sunrise. 3am until 4am, was a bit of a nightmare- stepped in dog poo- got an electric shock plugging in a wet hairdryer into an extension cord and had to pull a leech off each ankle - but after that everything fell into place

The seeing was superb- stars were tiny pinpoints even an high power. Edge on galaxy NGC 4945 showed mottling. Not bad for 40km from center of Sydney. Mars showed loads of detail. Saturn was my favorite 30 minutes before sunrise on the meridian with 5 moons still visible.
