Amazing night.

[Atlas]

Processing images from this evening. Tonight has been the best night to date. Saturn was crystal clear using my 3mm edge eyepiece. My wife and eye were able to witness a few Irridium flares. Along with tracking a couple satilites.

I even got a fuzzy view of the whirlpool galexy from my backyard on the base. (Unheard of with the airport lights)

I can't wait to process the images, looks like i'll be going without sleep tonight.

Excellent, glad you got a great night in! Let us knoe how you get on with the images

[Memory Bliss]

Sounds like a successful night. Please can you send some of your clear skies over here?

This is so good to hear!

Here in Spain the sky last night was also strangely sharp. Look forward to seeing some of the images.

Always nice to hear some people can see the stars. Might be clear tonight, but I am not counting on it.

Thanks for sharing.

There's not much going on in the UK at the moment, it has been raining for 40 days and nights. Possibly more!

[Mikejh]

Definitely more!

Wow, Spokane - I used to live there - you have to stay up late in the summer to get any truly dark skies.
