Hard to believe, but after perhaps the longest spell of clear nights we've had up here for the last few years we got cloud! And late cloud too, it was looking good even as I left home to drive up the mountain. Then again, mountains can be contrary things that can generate their own weather!
Nonetheless we got a good turn-up and managed to show people a bit in gaps in the cloud moving through. I think people enjoyed it - we certainly did and there was plenty of animated astro conversation going on across the observing field. Thanks to the regular helpers (Zac, Sean) and a special thanks to Daniel (dannat) who came up the mountain with his monster binoculars to help us out.
Here's hoping for clearer skies next Tuesday!
Cheers -
