Clear night in Sydney!!!

Hey all!

Managed a short session from my friend's balcony this evening!
The night was as clear as I've seen it (for Sydney) in quite a while!!

Unfortunately a few of my chosen targets were stubbornly below the horizon, however I did manage to see some bands on Jupiter as well as the 4 main Jovian moons - even looking through the amazing light pollution Sydney has on offer!

I've come to realise with my mount/scope combo, my straight through finderscope is very annoying/useless the closer I get to Zenith.
I think I'll be investing in a right-angled finderscope, any recommendations?

Clear seeing to you all!

Rob
