First observations from Skinakas
From 30/6 up to 5/7 I found myself observing from Skinakas Observatory for the first time (doing photometry tests on a number of exoplanet candidates) ! That was really a great experience and I enjoyed much both the procedure of observations and the stay there at the mountaintop. Only the weather could have been a little better the last nights as the humidity was getting very high, halting the observations. Anyway, we cannot predict yet the weather that good!
