Starfest gave a number of clear skies – no rain (at least it hadn’t hit yet when I packed up and left at 8:00am Sunday morning). A number of us spent Friday night imaging into the wee hours – and then casual observing on Saturday night – walking around and checking out the other equipment – it was quite a pleasure looking through a 25″ telescope! A few very brilliant meteors were spotted – one that lasted about 3 seconds as it flashed and pieces broke off was a treat.

I’m up in Tobermory for a little more observing – tonight’s forcast for the meteor shower is very promising here.
