Sky is still hazy but milkyway is visible.

While waiting for dinner to be served, we are watching F1 live!

wow...in the old days, we are cut off from the real world. But these days with mobile signals everywhere, we can get "tweets" onsite! How is rlow and his 15" ? (telescope, I mean!) I intended to drop by to surprise him today but had a appointment with the family instead. bah..will miss another meteor shower again. Cloudy here, by the way. Hope Mersing is better.

Richard you should have come. Sky got better after 9pm though with some haze. Milky way clearly visible arching across the sky. We saw a bunch of DSOs and at least 10 meteors per person.

Yes Airconvent should have come, even if only for three hours of observation. We had the best view of Swan Nebula through the 15" dob last night. Siti counted 21 meteors from 9pm to midnight.

There were that many meteors that even I saw quite a few despite spending the whole night setting up the SXD and sitting behind a bright liveview screen and not getting a single image off!
