No Katoomba, but a good night at home. Ben accepted my offer for a session at my place last night. Talked shop aplenty & gave his new C8 a good old thrash. Good scope he's got himself.

Conditions were a mixed bag, but seeing was so unbelievably steady. Pushed the C8 to 400X & Saturn was tack sharp! Quite amazing. Clouds totally buggered off late, allowing for a good going over of the gems of this time of year.

Good to get to meet a fellow IISer for the first time. Hopefully next time it will be under more favourable dark sky conditions.

Cheers Ben!
