Thoroughly enjoyable night, many thanks to Aubrey for showing me T Pyxis, a beautiful deep red carbon star that can give a man a taste for more.

I really liked Martin's images taken with his 80mm apo, he managed to capture some amazing details with exposures of a minute or so.

The general banter was great and hopefully it will not be long before the weather provides us with another clear night.

I really enjoyed last nigh. Aubrey's carbon star was incredible,makes me wanna start the hunting for more :) and probably i have never seen as much detail in Christmas tree nebula when i looked thru Paul's scope.Really blew me away,its just shows that aperture rules :P
On down side it was shame about the mounting plate for Gliese and the wind,was really looking forward having a go at 150mm APO.And Keith's 16" beast...well it was a pleasure just looking at it :) Maybe next time the wind is going to play ball with us.
Oh yes when is the next session :D
