I'm not a great fan of summer observing, principally because it stays light for soooooo long! By the time it gets dark, I'm generally too knackered to think about anything but bed.

Anywho, the passed couple of nights, I have noticed it getting darker a bit earlier and thoughts have been straying back to observing. Remarkable who the sky changes in just a couple of months (well, of course it would, simpleton! I hear you cry and quite correct too).

Sadly, I have been troubled by thin whispy cloud, so not had the chance to actually fire up any equipment, but at least the observing ache in my bones is returning.....
