Got to Binbrook for a 3:00am gate opening – Jackie was soon to follow. The sky was crystal and calm as predicted (the CSC is going to get it right once in a while – it’s just a matter of odds). The moon had just set – the Pleaides were high in the sky and Orion was just clearing the trees.
After setting up and polar aligning I started testing my new IDAS LPR filter – first with the Pleaides – then with Orion’s belt and dagger.
It was the first time I saw Venus since it crossed over to the morning – it sure is high and bright.
