Quite hot at times today. Sitting in the garden about 11 am, it was like summer except for the mainly bare trees.

In the evening put telescope outside to cool as it looks like being a very clear night - problems with haze on recent nights.

Beautiful day. Coming back in the evening stopped to look at the stars above the Edge - Orion, Sirius, the Hyades and Pleiades, Venus and Jupiter. Very beautiful, and so many more than usual! Orion and his bow quite plain.
