The events go like this - I set up the dob in the rain (Dave can confirm that) because I had a lot of faith in weather. 8pm we had a knock on the door and a request to turn off external lights. 8.30pm I was aligned and observing with Dave and others on the tennis court.

Then around 5am we saw a double shadow transit on Jupiter with John Sarkissian. We packed up 5am and people say it was raining again 6.30am.

Below are a few very rough single subs (comet has a few subs stacked) to prove my point. I would not bother processing them but I am glad I had a camera with me otherwise you would not believe it was clear Saturday night...

Cheers,
Alex
