      Not had a single rumble of thunder, no lightning and pretty much no rain.

      Would love all three if you fancy sending some over!

      Wow, I never get bored of god moving the furniture! Next to a clear dark sky, give me a grand thunder storm any day rather than orange-grey gloop :)

  2. Scope cooling outside :-) Could be the first session in yonks!

      Rain is just daft. After all this time, it still hasn't grasped the idea that sometimes its useful to fall upwards.

    4. Marki

      Marki

      Sky clear enough, but the moon is really bright :) Just have to look at that instead :). Its as much trying out the 6" on the azeq6 - seems reasonably stable so far.

  16. Debating whether any point setting up tonight...forecast pretty poor.

    2. Marki

      Marki

      Thanks Rob. Actually, the murk lifted and its lovely and relatively clear now. Gorgeous star fields through Cygnus. Shame I have an early start in about 6 hours ... . But worth it!
