5 a.m. this morning and the sky was clear "wall to wall" as the saying goes.
Proof is in the picture with Orion showing well in the SE. I can just make out his bow in this picture.
The Hyades and Pleiades are showing nicely. Parts of Gemini also are crisp.
The next challenge is to take some pictures with the telescope - forecast is rubbish for the next few days.
I have found an app. - that works with ipad only - it's called "scope nights". Sadly it has to be paid for but it is pretty accurate so far.
