Was up at Heathcote on Sat at the ASV site - superbly clear after early evening cloud and showers dissipated. Had clear skies from 10pm, and the dew finally got the primary about 3:30am. Chilly, with a light frost too, reminiscent of some milder Scottish astronomy nights! But would have loved a heater more substantial than my camping stove.
Sab, really interesting about the seeing... you're dead right, on Sat Saturn was easily the best I've seen it. Like a photograph, and not a hint of a wobble at 300x. In Scotland, the cold nights were usually poor seeing, probably because of the air masses involved, but here it seems to be the cold quiet ones.
Stefan, I can only recommend, in the absence of a good Icelandic wool jumper, lots and lots of layers, a set of thermals, hat and gloves!!
