Several members enjoyed a fine night at the Brian Stokes Cygnus Observatory sharing knowledge and viewing a range of objects including the Moon, Saturn and Jupiter and quite a few early Perseid meteors. The ideal conditions after storm Antonio produced clear skies and fine views of the Milkyway prior to the waning gibbous moon rising. Several narrow band images were taken through 60mm and 73mm refractors with both mono and OSC cameras until first light.
