After Dr.Inskip's very interesting presentation on the exploration of Mars, Jonathan and I opened the observatory at 10pm.in anticipation of clear skies.By 11pm clouds had dispersed and we were able to start imaging.The target was M51 again,concentrating on focussing and the use of the Tak. to guide the O.D.K. Later we saw Jupiter rising so Jonathan tested his Nikon for planetary imaging.After a brief look at M5 we shut down at about 2 am.
