well, its the 3rd time I've cleaned the mirrors since I got the scope 13 years ago, not too hard really, the main mirror was very bad.
it was definitely windy last night, but wasnt affected by it as I was in a dome.

@Aubrey, its gonna be clear on thursday and friday nights :rock: looking forward to it.
@John, 46c, I can only imagine whats thats like.! : blink:

Oh Dave, you have just reminded me. Valerie and I saw the ISS before 7 pm on Thursday night while I was setting up the telescope. It was fainter then Jupiter.
