Mini Marathon!

The skies are exceptionally clear this evening! There aren't any signs of rain and the cloud cover is almost zero. The only thing that is moving on the air is the wind and its strength is medium. So, all the more for a mini marathon this evening!

I just did a cursory sweep of the eastern and northern part of the skies from the usual car park area near the presbytery, with my trusty binocs and it was already gorgeous to notice Saturn twinkling mischieveous along the north-eastern sky and Orion with its nebula just overhead! :-) I can't wait for a little later to take out the C6 and go get some serious astro shots!

More on this in a little while....
