Here's a quick report!

First of all, night was very good for ECP standards! We almost imagined that the milky way was visible in the lower Scorpius region. There were only intermittent high stratus clouds occasionally. Eta Carinae was clearly naked eye. Saw quite a few southern objects mostly. We had about 6 telescopes set up: Chris's WO80, Elton's FS60, Kelvin's M210, Ray's TOA130 and Q3.5, and welcomed a new-comer, Mins with his ETX80. Quite a fruitful event I must say, for the skies cooperated very well. We had a few others coming to join us as well, including Jay (Enterprise). Ended the session around 11ish, in time to rush home to catch the electoral results!
