Looking good

So tonight the weather looks for tonight's observing session. Tonight we are trying to get some data on 3 different clusters, two open and one globular. Here are the domes about to be prep'd for observing, with the moon above them. There are a few clouds about but they did eventually shift. We found one of our target clusters was right next to the full moon - not good for getting good data in B and V bands. Perseverance paid off though and we got that one too by using a few tricks. Then the telescope reset itself and refused to recognise what day it was or what it's name was, so we thought we'd done enough by then and went back to the lab for analysis.

However it all worked out, and we got some really good data in the end!
