Hi, Mat and everyone Tonight was a good night for astronomy. Sky's cleared and the Milky way came out about 9:30. Nice dark sky. Seeing was good at the zenith. Smokey more as you reached the horizon. M13 was as good as I have seen it. M57 came in good, not great just good. M51 was as good as pit&pole I did not have a O3 filter so I did not see much of NGC6888. All things considered was a very enjoyable night. Hope to see some of you Friday & Saturday. Mark
