    1. Luke

      Luke

      That's a shame, David. what a lottery it is. It seemed okay our way until I packed in at 10:40, the odd period of blur where I stopped the capture.

  14. David Smith

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

    1. Luke

      Luke

      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

  15. David Smith

    Baseball is back, spring training is underway. Woohoo.

      ghostdance

    Metoffice says clear tonight. Recipe for disappointment!

    1. thegreendruid

      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 ;)

  17. David Smith

    No Sun this weekend :-(

    1. Luke

      Luke

      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.

  18. David Smith

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

      ronin

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

  19. 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!

  20. David Smith

    Typical, due to be clear tonight of all nights!
