      Saturday night is the only day I can stay up really really late. So therefore it's the one day of the week that the clouds take over!

  4. Got woken up at 4am for some reason this morning -peered out of window and was gobsmacked by how brilliantly bright Venus was, hangin low in the eastern sky. Totally awesome!

  5. Scope out in garden on cooldown...anticipation building!

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

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