We started with Saturn, moved to Jupiter and then spent some time on the moon working on our Lunar 100 (second night so far). We then had a break and came back for Mars around 1am. We caught Saturn with six moons. Jupiter was not showing the GRS and it's moons were out of our FOV. We took videos of Mars over about 45 minutes and it's interesting to see how much it has rotated.
Great work guys - animation is fantastic too! Last night was quite decent up in Sydney, the first night I've spent some extended time on Mars this year. Few vids I'll post shortly too...

Thanks Dave.
Glad you had some clear skies - isn't it great!! Looking forward to your images. We'll check again later.
You've got some really great results there. My compliments on your discipline too - when I take a break, I find it hard to get going again, but in this case it's plain to see that there certainly wasn't any inertia.

Thanks Warren.
It was a beautiful night so it was not too hard to go back out.
