SQM 22.01 - Result!

[ollypenrice]

I just had an email from my Italian robotic clients to say that they have been finding an SQM reading of 21.98 this week and that they hit 22.01 on one occasion. That's a record and a very nice one! We often run at around 21.5 but cracking 22 is Champagne time! No wind either, so our Avalon was producing its best guide trace ever.

I knocked off at 5.30 last night with the summer sky on full view and a bright Milky Way sweeping across, low down but magnificent.

Yikes.  I daren't buy one of these meters, for fear I will just have to tear everything down!

Congrats on that record. Nothing anywhere like that here, of course

Shows how skilfully you chose that location Olly. Here I may be up for the record in terms of the lowest SQM reading recorded!

Congratulations Olly, it must have looked marvellous! I remember how the MW looked in May 2016 at your place, beautiful

Well done- my best reading is 21.7 - 21.8.

Still excellent, though.

I can get more than 22 (if I bury my meter in a bag, in a cupboard.... it will give an error if it's too dark!!)

very nice skies though!
