Finally a clear spell!

[Monty]

Went to bed with cloud coming in fast from the west and feeling miserable!

Woke up at 1:45ish, gazed out of the window at the moon getting lower in the sky, nice and bright. Wait a minute, a bright clear moon (thought I). Leapt out of bed and leaned out the window not a cloud to be seen, street lighting off.

Fastest setup I've ever done and got some great views. The new scope worked a treat!

• Last but far from least, Jupiter (just about viewable until I stopped at 05:30 along with Vega)
  

Coffee, toast then bed.
