A Mizar correction

I made a small mistake when I wrote the report the other night and referred to Mizar and Alcor as a double. This isn't the case, they are in fact just close together from our position. Thanks to Hal2000 for the correction.

I also forget to mention that I had a look around Cassiopeia with the bins. This was a total washout. With the bins I could just about make out the 5 main stars, forget anything else.

Last night, after a really rather nice day was awash in grey stuff (clouds) so I didn't get to see anything of the night sky, although I kept looking out just in case. Ah well. Back to normal again I see.
