Yeah well, it was nice tonight but there is now a huge cloud
bank coming through from the south west. I spied what
appeared to be an Iridium flare around 10pm, heading west
to east.

I agree, it's pretty green here too.

Glen & Graham

If you not up to much, and I know it's xmas eve. It's looking good for
tonight. I was out until I found myself asleep on my chair lol approx 10pm.
So I went to bed and got up again around 2:30am to catch some stunning
views of Saturn, best I have seen her in a couple of years. Orion Neb
look pretty special too, must sat on that for about 40-50 minites. With
such miminal chances lately mainly due to weather, I had a really good
time chasing mainly show stoppers.

regards,CS sunny days

Rob
