Lovely Clear Skies in Australia

[Dragon Man]

Last night was about the clearest skies we have had here in quite a while.

Pitch black Australian country sky, a temperature of 16c (60F), no Jetstream, and lots of goodies to look at.

Mallincam Xtreme, ED80, 0.7x FR, EQ6 Mount, no filters.

Here's some unprocessed screen grabs direct from my NightSkiesNetwork broadcast.

- M42 Orion Nebula,

- M83 Southern Pinwheel,

- Fornax Galaxy Cluster,

- Sombrero Galaxy,

- Keyhole Nebula in Carina Nebula

Nice images.

We are going through a nice cold patch in Shanghai which means clear skies and low smog levels. I am hoping to see the New Moon with Venus on the 2nd Jan.

Just looking forward to UK skies...

Excellent captures Ken and I hope to watch your broadcast soon in the near future.

Clear skies,
