How did the observing evening go?

[Whitters]

Folks, Sorry I could not make it, how did the observing evening go yesterday?

[Greg]

In fact I couldn' t make it either, so I'm interested in finding out aswell. It looked cloudy - maybe because I stayed away it wasn't cloudy at the site.

The night went well. Apart from not being able to get into the field and having to climb over the fence to get in !!!

The night was spectacularly clear, so much so that I was able to spot and show to the others, the ring nebulae in Lyra when it was still semi-twilight, and in a 4.5 inch !!! Seeing was excellent, shame there were no planets to look at !!!

We had a look at some double stars and some satellites including an iridium flare that Nigel had details on. Despite the fact we didn't observe for long because of the late nights it was a good evening !!

Locked out, climbing fences. Hum... sounds like a normal night at the field!

bugger. All I got to do Tuesday night was get drunk on Guinness in Dublin.

If you're going to drink Guinness, Dulin's a better place to do it than most...

Ummmmm Guinness
