bit of clear skies (Blue Mountains)

What a drag. Earlier in the week it was looking like it was going to be a spectacular weekend. Certainly, it was unusually warm. But Environment Canada and the Clear Sky Charts were not looking promising now. So we seized the opportunity, rolled off the roof of the CAO GBO observatory, and looked at what we could look it. In the end, Dietmar operating the C14 'scope and me assisting, we observed Saturn, Messier (M81), Messier (M82), and a bunch of other objects. We could not split Porrima.
