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

  2. David Smith

    Bit fresh out. Still, good for comet spotting.

  3. David Smith

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

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

      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!

      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!

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

      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!
