Definitely cooling down over nights!

Grabbed the snowboarding jacket and beanie lastnight in Melbourne. That did the trick although the hands were frozen. i know its cold if the legs and feet get cold, not this time.

took the goto dob out, even though there were light winds on the ground level the jetstream was doing pretty well, think i may have got some of my best data on saturn for the season (please let it be so! i just want one nice picture, c'mon!!).

Took some moon and nearby spica shots too, they both fit in frame, although it was a bit of a last minute decision, i didn't recheck the focus so think thats going to ruin the pics.

nevertheless a nice night of viewing, some crisp views of the Moon, a few doubles and Saturn.

my dog also loves it when i go viewing too as he gets some 'night fetch' time - everybody wins! he even knows when my DSLR does a count down that he gets a few in a row haha.
