Just come in from a short sesion with fantastic seeing and some old favorites.
The GRS on Jupiter very clear and lots of other detail. 47 Tuc resolved very nicely and had a fantasic view of M42 in Orion. The Trapeziun resolved so well that even the E and F stars were very easy to see! Finally some good viewing of M1 and then inside for sleep.
A friend had recently laser collomated my scope and the difference from using a collomating eyepiece is WOW, and so easy. Must get one of these set ups.
I was going to set up but as it was i didn't get home till 8pm and i was stuffed. I looked out the window at about 3am just before sunrise and the stars where still right down to about 30 deg and crystal clear!
tonight seems like it will be poo with the clouds again... This year has been absolute slop with close to 3 months of cloud followed by gale force winds and on the non gale force winded nights stars where dancing at zenith... its gotta get better sometime soon.
your pretty lucky up in WA, I havn't used my scope or binoculars in 3 weeks now! the weather cant make up its mind. one moment its cloudy, next its sunny then raining. I missed the eclipse because of the weather!!!.
