Cloudy Spell

[Pig]

I have been away for a week on quite an intense training course and as a result I haven't had much time to do anything else, one thing that has struck me though is just how cloudy it has been lately 

I took my solar scope with me hoping that I would get a quick chance to get some observing in during the lunch breaks, thus giving me a respite away from the training. No such luck !!!!! not even a sniff of the sun.

I hope it clears soon  even for a couple of hours would be nice.

Hope your luck changes soon, Shaun. At least you didn't take a 20 inch dob with you

This week I have been so lucky with solar lunch, little gaps for a sniff on four out of five days. Only small gaps, but I'm amazed I got something on four days given the amount of cloud and the awful forecast

It's looking like a second blank weekend in a row for me, but I've been lucky considering. What a shame there's been so much cloud for what is now looking like close to an entire month for the mega spot's two laps...

Been horrible for more than two weeks now.

Have my fingers crossed for at least a glimpse tomorrow ...

Must be getting bad, read the title, knew what you meant but still had the thought:

"We don't need a spell for clouds, we need a spell for clear!" :rolleyes:

[Pig]

Luke,

Yes it would have been very annoying packing a Dob without getting to use it  The good thing about solar is those 20 minute chances between clouds.

Tony,

I think you have been waiting patently for some time now, this is the longest spell that I haven't been able to use the scope  I have them both primed though and I am ready to be viewing within seconds of seeing any sun.

Ronin,

I would love the day the day that I would be able to moan about too many clear days  but I don't see that scenario happening anytime soon.

LoL up until about 2 hours ago

Third perfectly clear night on the trot here so far, must be a record sequence this year!

Three in a row, Peter?! What have you been checking out? I hope I can hold out to see Jupiter a half decent height! The lovely moon is looking a little blinding here!
