    Have just seen a strange yellow disc in the sky?

  5. David Smith

    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.

      Well done getting something, Dave. Weekend looks iffy here, after a rather iffy bank holiday weekend! Roll on Summer 2016 :D Must say I am looking forward to a bit of deep sky and lunar.

    2. David Smith

      David Smith

      Thanks Luke. Forecast here is iffy for the foreseable future!

    3. Luke

      Luke

      Yeah I think that was kind of 2015 David, iffy weather :D I held off any lunar imaging for a while, looking forward to getting back to that. I am thinking maybe do solar mostly in summer,. lunar imaging in spring and autumn and observing planets if they are about, and DSO observing in winter.

  8. David Smith

    Horrible hazy skies tonight :-(

  9. David Smith

    How can I go to bed when the sky looks like that!

  10. David Smith

    I wish the forecast would make it's mind up!

  11. David Smith

    If you have blood the colour of the eclipsed Moon then you probably should see a doctor.

    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!

  13. David Smith

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

  14. David Smith

    Just ordered Every Photon Counts, imaging here I come.

      Thin I need to move a bit further north, I'd be happy for 2 consecutive days at the moment.

    3. David Smith

      Managed to grab some dirty frames through the clouds late yesterday afternoon so the streak lives on.

    4. Luke

      A good run! I managed 17 straight days on hols last year, typical that it's sunny when I am on hols and can't use my 120mm scope! Back home now and rubbish forecast for the weekend again :D

  21. David Smith

    Merry Christmas all

  22. David Smith

    Meryy Chritmas All.

    Metoffice says clear tonight. Recipe for disappointment!

      thegreendruid

      I hope it is clear tonight. The missus is out ghost hunting at alton towers tonight, so it's the perfect excuse for me to get the telescope out ;)

  25. David Smith

    Missed an opportunity to see Panstarrs last night :(
