Boy, that was some great viewing last night.
If only we could have shot out the lights from the works depot next to the sports park, then the seeing would have been sensational. Even better, if we could have gotten onto the oval, and around the back of the toilet block/change rooms, then we could have been in some really nice darkness.
As it was, there was no wind, and when I left at 12:30am there was ice on the roof of my car. No scintillation at all - the stars were very sharp (except through my scope).
Geoff #3, it was great to meet you. Thanks for sharing excellent views through the monster light bucket!
Attendees were myself, Greg, Geoff #3, Allan, Jakob and Andrew, with a late appearance by Bones and Paul.
