Better sky

[geppetto]

Great to see that a lot of folk including myself

got out to play last night. Fingers crossed for tonight

Yes, got out for a couple of hours myself last night (first clear night in 20). Spent about half an hour cruising around Posidonius and subsidiary craters, then had a look at Saturn - nice crisp rings. Finally, as it was almost fully dark by that time, I moved over to Virgo, so see if any of the Virgo cluster were visible. I was rewarded by 6 feint fuzzies (M84, 85, 86, 87, 99 & 100) - amazing to think of the distance (and time) that light had travelled.

Had to then jump back in the car and drive home - a quick shower and into bed about midnight (work the next day - groan).

Still, great to be out again.

It was just nice to be able to look up and see the stars.

With the cloud Gods smiling kindly on us, we will be out again tonight!
