    Typical, miserable weather all weekend and then glorious sunshine on Monday morning.

      The Sun doesn't do weekends any more! :-o Holiday Friday is showing as cloudy here. Same old, same old. Hope it's the usual accuracy! :D

    Thanks Ivo. I will check the camera's settings. I have never knowingly used or selected face detection mode but who knows.
  3. David Smith
    That's a good idea, thanks Peter.

    Occassionally, when I connect my 1100D to my laptop and start EOS Utility in live view, the zoom button / icon is greyed out. Anyone got any ideas why this happens? Very annoying, the whole purpose of connecting to the lappy is to get better focus but can't do that without zoom. Thanks

      Good luck sorting it, even the little things drive me nuts never mind major issues. I suggest a particularly firm hammer if it's stubborn.

      Another dead hard drive. Amazon failed to deliver the replacement today! And then I have another rebuild to do. The hammer is very tempting Luke!

    Typical, wet all day yesterday. Back to work this morning and it's blue skies and sunshine. Grrrr.

    Hope March is better than Feb weather wise. Just 3 solar sessions in Feb!

      It can't be worse, I could sneak a quick session in now if I find some motivation.

      Down with Feb already!! :D

      Same here, David, the proms have been taunting me all day on Gong :D Hopefully we'll see some cracking images of today's events! And next weekend better be good hehe.

  11. David Smith

    Jupiter looks fantastic tonight as the seeing is better than average for a change.

  12. David Smith

    Bit fresh out. Still, good for comet spotting.

  13. David Smith

    Woohoo, got tickets to see NFL at Wembley again this year. Detroit vs Kansas City on Nov 1st. Can't wait.

      By the time Nov 1st comes round you will have forgotten all about them and be all exctited to watch it on TV. ;-))

    What was supposed to be a clear sky last night looked suspiciously cloudy to me!

    1. Qualia

      Qualia

      Much the same here, David. Prepared everything and the mist/fog rolled in.

    2. Marki

      Yup - got home, set up scope, went in to make tea, clouded over, went in to eat tea, looked as of cloud breaking up, went backin for a cuppa, then came out and it had actualy rained a bit (scope ok). Totally clear at midnight when I looked at bedtime! Grr!

    3. Luke

      I aborted plans to image me some moon with the SCT! Pesky forecasts! There were dribs and drabs but I want a nice long clear patch and the Moon nice and high! Seeing was too boiling to sneak in close when it was lower down. At least we had a quick look at Jupiter, the Moon and M42!

  15. David Smith

    January blues - I looked at the weather forecast. Should be called January greys!

    1. Luke

      Luke

      It's not looking good for solar! Supposed to be clear our way tonight, I am cold but that moon would be tempting for imaging, plus a crack at eyeballing Comet Lovejoy!

  16. David Smith

    Merry Christmas all

  17. David Smith

    Geminids - The Sequel tonight but it's a bit slow with just 4 in the first hour.

      Cloud stopped play again after a couple of hours but there was so little activity I was falling asleep by the end!

  18. David Smith

    Thnks Giving Football - Gonna be a long night!

  19. David Smith

    Typical, due to be clear tonight of all nights!

      It just didn't stop, none of it was really heavy. But it was steady all day. Blooming miserable.

      You got Shreddies?! I got Weetabix. I may have to serve myself if it's clear tomorrow morning :D

    3. David Smith

      David Smith

      I forecast more shreddies and good tunes for tomorrow morning. Just hope the Sun shows up to play!

    4. Luke

      Luke
