It tuned out to be a nice night after all, considering the wind and the cloud earlier on in the afternoon. I should've brought my telescope along, if only I knew it was going to clear up.
The modifications to Anthony's dob went well. We took some pics documenting the modification and he will post them later on today. For Anthony there was some getting use to the telescope. No more pushing with two hands or putting the shoulder in to it.
We had a great time looking up at the night sky it was nice to see a dark sky for a change. The Orion neb looked stunning as did the Tarantula as well as many other objects in the sky. George pointed out that we could see Andromeda low towards the north so we went to the middle of the paddock and finished the night looking at Andromeda.
I've learnt something last night (actually it's happened to me twice now) the weather could be lousy here in Swansea and great in Kulnura. I will be taking the telescope next time even if it is a bit cloudy down here.
