At last!
Been up looking at Jupiter, and I think I saw neptune.
Had a squiz at Venus through the trees.
I saw 47 Tucanae the other night with the naked eye, but by the time I got the scope out and set up, the fog had rolled in.
Tried to find it this morning, but it was behind the massive pine tree.
Oh well. It was nice being out.
Anyone else had a good night?
Hi Molly,
Yep!..had a few magical hours viewing last night..Carina look superb..(with the help of a UHC filter)..Saturn impressive as always as is Omega Centauri..and did the coffee go down well afterwards!!
Cheers!
Spent a short time out with the binocs. Jewel Box, omega Centauri, eta Carina all clearly visible and lovely. Just getting over a rotten cold and didn't want to suffer more, so didn't take out the scope which would have meant a couple of hours out there. Certainly a beautiful night.

Transparency looked terrific last night. I was heading home at midnight and Jupiter was so bright. Got up this morning at 5:45 and the moon, Venus and Mars were stunning in the early morning sky. Scope in the wardrobe, bottle in the baby
Beautiful night in Melbourne!
