generally a waste of time

weather forecast = 'scope tease!!

largely pointless exercise carried out by people with a largely pointless job.....will that do ...:)

did you set up last night, im away in durham and it was really clear

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..:)

go for it, i brought my tal to girlfriends for lunar A-focal, but the cloud has won

Good luck..Just been in for some tea, off back out for a bit more.

yes, go away clouds, i had a quick peek at the moon with the f16.5, very clear image

Not looking much good here. I want to try the 6mm ortho to.

Yep, looked out and clear, set up the f16.5 on AZ4 but the wind was buffeting it

Nope :(. All these telescope sales that Stagazing Live will generate are gonna kill the weather for months ;)

Been clear here all day and I was just thinking I'll get the scope out and that's all it was.

Same here mate...

Don't force yourself, Mark. There's time to do things and there are times when it just don't feel right to be doing those things, so I figure it just ain't worth it.

I had planned a session for tonight, until i dropped a heavy item on my big toe at work, walking wounded

Al this cloud is my fault for getting heq5 syntrek

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!.

Don't lick it!

2 wheels good, four wheels bad :-)

I have a vision of you turning up at a star party on a bike with an f13 rocket launcher on your shoulder

Mmm - could work, eyepieces in the paniers, tube strapped across my back...red lights at the rear...but how to carry the mount?

Got a nice peek last night but today a lot of Spain is under flood alert...crazy weather

yep, couple of days ago we were forecast clear skies.

Temps have risen again here. Today was around 30º and then evening really hasn't droppe dthat much.

Ay, I can appreciate your sentiment, mark. Here it's not so much the weather that is crippling but a herd of other compromises that just ruin a night's gazing.

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!

Yes i had this very issue last night

my tal 80rs will be out shortly if the moon clears the trees

Same problem here...moon just below the neighbours trees....and the sky looks good tonight :) Clear skies Jules!

we've got the set out tonight. The Tal 100rs is out already, with a big fat moon. Clear skies to you two.
