Seeing was truly awful, lads!
Even an hour after sunset (before 5 pm) Vega was shimmering all over the place at 112X. And Epsilon 1,2 Lyrae at the same power was one of the worst viewings I have ever experienced.
M57 the Ring Nebula looked reasonable at 6 pm at powers up to 167X.
There seemed to be quite a lot of high dense cloud about.
So maybe it was a better night for deep sky objects until the clouds moved in.
Kind regards,
Aubrey.
