An Incredible sky, and I'm working.

Late yesterday we had a strong thunderstorm go thru, with very hard rain and some wind.

It washed the sky better than running a pair of pants twice in the washer.

Just a few moments to stand there enjoying the sky I found Jupiter outshining everything!

Saturn was faint descending past the zenith.  Mars rising towards the zenith starting to show good.

Taurus was beginning to show, Pleadies was very clear not far from Taurus. 

The sight that really showed how clean the air had become was the way Andromeda was faintly visible, Cassieopia pointing right to it.

I'm off tomorrow, I just hope it's close to what I could see this morning at 3:30am.

Nice report and session. I find the sky is usually at it's best in terms of transparency after rain.

And of course, following with astronomers curse, today I'm off and today had that really faint milky look that cut most of the faint stars out of seeing!
