Sutherland, South Africa

Splendid conditions and an unbelievably beautiful sky. Started the session with observations of double stars, a nebula, a planetary nebula and galaxies in Eridanus and 2 galaxies in Fornax. In Columba I observed a globular cluster and galaxies. More galaxies and double stars in Volans. Omega Centauri was a sight to behold. After the "Jewel Box" in Crux, I ended the session with some double stars and carbon stars in Canis Major.
