A great night out!!

[astro_nutt]

Hi everyone,
I thought I'd share this with you..
Ever had one of those perfect nights where you're at a dark-sky site..scope and ep's ready..weather cooling..a slight breeze..clear sky..new equipment to try out?...
It's where patience..hard work..pays off..time to enjoy!..
I was at the ASV's Dark sky site at Heathcote last saturday, and in good company..i've had the best night's viewing so far!!
Galaxies, Nebulaes, clusters were clear and concise...
I've read many an inspiring letter in these forums which makes me appreciate when the opportunity presents itself..OH YEAH!!..it was magic!!
Ahhhh!...life is good!!
(Oh!..I did have a little help..I recently purchased a sky navigator called "e astro 1000 from Bintel Camberwell..very easy to use..great for anyone with a Dob with setting circles as it converts any R.A and DEC into Alt-azimuth figures..push-to made easy!! )
Cheers!!

Hi there

Yes, I agree with Ric - good to hear that you had a great night. We have been having great skies - but the wind has been a shocker.

Hope you have many more to come..

Cheers Petra
