Clear Sky at Last!

Since getting back from the trip to Hawaii in early June, over 2 months ago I have only had the scope out twice, both times with moonage and drifting clouds.
Finally last night it was cold, clear and moonless.
Managed to get out there and do some PNs in Aqulia and Serpens, the NGC 7176 group in Grus and some other stuff.
When I gave it up at midnight with some faint moonage on the eastern horizon it was 0.6deg C

The interesting thing was with such a long break between drinks I had no idea what constellations were up. Had to work to relearn the sky!
