Observation report from tassie - fog!!!
Yes, or maybe higher level mist???
Thunderstorms and humid during the day. A lovely clear still night @ 16 degrees early on. Everything dewed up in minutes of taking outside, so there must be heaps of moisture in the air.
I have used the lask of viewing to good effect and so tried my hartmann & aperture masks at around 12am, some good solid time on star testing. I also have made a "Bird" peltier cooler system for the mirror cell, not quite wired up, but I thought i would set up for imaging and get up at 3am anyway.
Well here i am and the moon is only just viewable as thick wisps of mist streak across the sky. There is no wind - it is really wierd.
Maybe the weather gods determine atm stuff as an appendix to the spending money rule!!
Oh well, the seeing was really god early on, but life goes on!
I will finish wiring up the peltier cooler, post some pics tomorrow and see what tomorrow night holds!
