Just a quick entry tonight, as I've got to get myself organised in the morning.

Did my first tour at the observatory for this season a week or so back, was a good night, though we did have a bit of trouble with high humidity and dew making the tarantula nebula look more like a faint smudge, still with the aid of that wonderful piece of equipment, the hairdryer, the telescope was de-dewed and the tarantula seen in well, as glorious as it gets to the naked eye. Alas that nebulas are one of the things that really look better in photographs than through a scope, if you want to see the colour anyway.

Met some of Chris's other waifs and strays last night. A good time was had by all, much food was eaten including the pineapple turnips, and all bouts were taken outside, except the armwrestling.
