      Blanket of thick fog here for the last 2 days, before that 9 days of blanket cloud. Haven't been out in ages in almost a fortnight!.

  2. Sky looking increasingly hazy...scope out anyway!

      Not much cop is it.. I walked out to a clear sky and managed a whole fifteen minutes. I suppose I should be dancing with joy..:)

  9. Urghh - just got home after a 500 mile drive, and now too tired to observe - bet its cloudy tomorrow!

    1. nightfisher

      nightfisher

      Marki, you should have nailed a few hours sleep and got up about 5am for some lunar/ planetary, with orion added in the plot for a bonus

      Last night my wife and I were out at dance practice - currently trying to learn Ballroom & Latin! Came home at a little after 22:00 after 2 1/2 hours of practice to see the moon rising low over the houses and a perfectly clear sky, with what looked like excellent seeing. Equally too tired to set up the scope to do some observing!

      Clouds are already rolling in this afternoon, ready for the rain showers tonight!

  10. Wondering if the high haze general murk will blow over in time for me to see some meteors :)

    1. nightfisher

      nightfisher

      did you get to see any?

    2. Marki

      Marki

      One possible. Gave up after a bit as it was pretty hazy/cloudy.

  11. Forecast keeps changing - promised clear skies postponed every hour on the hour :(. Scope looking dejected from lack of use!

    1. nightfisher

      nightfisher

      nightfisher

      hates me as well, but i would rather have cloud at this time when the nights are so light, and short

  13. Gaps in clouds promised tonight - wife wants me to go out to friends for the night...what to do....

    1. nightfisher

      nightfisher

  22. Clearly the bbc have a different understanding of what constitutes a clear sky....one with cloud for a start :(. Grrr!

    1. nightfisher

      nightfisher

  23. Got some time free tonight, but typically the weather isn't going to play ball! Meh!

    1. Qualia

      Qualia

      I think this prolonged activity of cloud cover comes with buying such a rare and lovely telescope, Mark. You're only to blame :-)

  24. Cloudy :(. Forecast looks promising for Fri/Sat though...can't wait to get the scope again :)

    1. Qualia

      Qualia
