What a TOP night I had last night! I drove out to Ron's through solid cloud praying for clear skies.


Once I got there at 6:30 the clouds moved on and showed great skies!

The clouds however came back shortly and we spent the night till midnight having good longish periods of great veiwing with clouds here and there for short periods. Until at Midnight when thick cloud moved in.

I had what was probably my best nights viewing ever! I took in many galaxies I had never seen before and as well as some new clusters. Eta Carina nebula looked amazing, and even more spectacular with Steve's new (Ultra Block?) filter. Jupiter showed more detail lastnight than many had ever seen, and personally I was blown away by the incredible detail and interesting position of the moons.

I met a few people new to me, and was welcomed to share some nice views through other's scopes.

I also got to see Jenette's GSTAR in action which was awesome.

I was very pleased with my scope, which after a few recent mods, performed very well!

Many thanks to Ron for his hospitality and also to Steve for the loan of a few bits and EP's .

Glad you guys had a good night.

I have a mechanic living across the road, when he got home at 6pm last night we tried to find out what was wrong with the car.

You would not believe it, but all it was was a simple fuse blown.

Cars, if we didn't need them who would own one... LOL

Again glad to hear you had a great night, heres hoping and praying for the next one..... Knock on wood.....
