Reports

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.
