Dusting off my gear for tonight

It looks like a great night up my way, new moon, and hopefully no fireworks tonight. Pulled the 150ED out to the observatory and set but up visually. I sold my ASI camera early this year so visual only tonight. I still have my Nikon if I get the itch.

I had similar plans, but the clouds are already gathering. I wish you luck, and clear skies into the New Year!

Great night here, last night. Many folks are on holidays so neighbors lights were dark. Good Seeing conditions.

Had high hopes for a pleasant night under the stars and catching the double transit on Jupiter but as usual, the local seeing was diabolical with warm northerly winds, never a good sign and cloud coming in off the ocean. Gave up about midnight, packed up the gear and got a good nights sleep instead.
