Yes I love it when it's hot and generally hot weather means sunshine and sunshine means clear skies and I like astronomy so it kinda helps really.

gas fire on!!!!

We had snow here in Yorkshire last week - it's madness! The heating has been on for most of spring!

You're having a laugh! I've been off work for a month and been out twice!! Forecast looks good next week...hows that for the law of sod!!

^ I go back to work on Monday. :(

Yeah I know, terrible isn't it..:D

gonna have some pate on toast before heading out with the dslr

Nice. I make a fine pigeon liver pate..

nomnomnom :D

were and when please let me know

Geoff, I have sent you a PM

Geoff if you visit this again I sent you a personal message. The white envelope at the top of the page. Details are in section astro events under Lincolnshire star camp.. Hope you get the info it would be good if you can make it..

Great stuff, Col. Glad you're getting the opportunity.

That's weird I have already replied in here a couple of times and my comments have disappeared..:/ It good to get a chance cloud dodging.

Sounds good Col :)

Cheers :)

It is going to be a little hit miss I think but should be okay for midnight.

Hope you had a good night, Col. Here it has dropped from 30º to 9º in just a day and the evening is freezing with chronic seeing. Even at just 100x I couldn't stop Saturn from blurring.

A decent hour before bed with new ep's, very happy with them. I shouldn't mind a few days of 30' though..:)

Bit breezy out there but Jupiter is looking good.

Had a lovely session last night. Think I was observing Brianchon & Pascal: quite spellbinding.

Hope the rain passes Jules. My 9mm ortho is fab..:) Jupiter looks great it's been too long. Need a while for the moon to come from behind tree and an alt/az mount would be handy.

No good is it! I just got out the bath, I was out in a towel and t-shirt LOL..!

we had no petrol to make it to our observing site (thanks to the other night's waste of a trip), glad some ppl managed to make the most of tonight :)

Probably not a bad thing, you would want to get caught up in a blizzard...:) Good luck for next time

Great mount, light weight and rock solid.

Smashing grab and go astro mount, and rock solid mounting a camera for daytime pics too :)

My Lyra seems to be steady on it although The clouds stopped any viewing but I am impressed so far.

Even putting the astronomy aside it is starting to feel depressing.

And even more like the Day After Yesterday.......Cloudy !#*

Outside.. squelch, squelch.. eugh :(

snap, same here, still waiting to show claire the moon with scope

I just wanted to sit in the sun for a day..:/ Back at it in the morning, expect it to be a lovely day..:D

First day back in about a week and it's cloudy - it seems I've had the luck even though I got a new scope. I really don't understand this...

keep us posted, would have got my scope out but forcast was cloudy, im out and scopes at home

CA is no big deal is it!

Your supposed to be looking at the stars!!

I know but its my neighbour her bathroom light is like a beacon for the lost at sea and were 40 miles inland. I must buy her some candles..

I was sat in the garden in Tshirt and shorts yesterday and looks to be another warm day here again. Shame the clouds always seem to come in at 5 o'clock!

Weird weather. Here it just rained all day and it's not true that the rain falls mainly on the plain in Spain.

I have some silly thoughts at times..!

It's no good when it's too easy.

I've got tickets for the 4th day at Old Trafford, hoping the game gets that far...

I challenge you to a soup off! I love chick soup

mine are just dark grey,as they have been for the last 2 weeks or more

cca 70cm of snow and still snowing...maybe that will make U feel better...:)

I was asleep lol!!

i keep meaning to get mine out and look at the sun but never get round too it.suppose i actually should get a solar filter for my finderscope first

Great, Stuff. Long live these decent 4" achros!!
