Wednesday night was such an unusually clear night here in North Atlanta that I just had to write about it.
My old Meade 12.5 dob was well cooled and collimated and my neighbors had their lights out. There were more stars visible then I have ever seen from my home.
Highlight of the evening - I was observing the Orion Nebula and focusing down on the Trapezium with a 12.5 mm eyepiece. A satellite appeared and sailed right through the middle of the Trapezium. It was really neat. I hope others were able to enjoy the evening.
