Qualia

Thank you all for your kind words. It really is nice to be back and to see such warm and tender folk. Thank you :-)

Thank you, Knight.. It's good to be back home :-)

I know it sounds a bit pat/glib Jules but just try to take these things one day at a time, trying to make the set backs into meaningful projects. If it were me, I'd set myself a reward for getting things sorted; 12 months down the line a tasty 120 APO, for example :-)

I was in the UK last week, Jules. Nice town in the south-west and my heart told me, "If I lived here, I'd need a decent 5" frac."

Look forward to hearing your opinions, Shaun :-)

Glad you both got a little solar in today .-)

Sorry to hear about the weather :-( It's a right pain when it's not clear. Derek, I use a micro-guide from Baader. It's only a guesstimate but it helps frame a general idea :-)

Think it better I keep quiet, Jules and not say anything about the run of clear nights and days we've been having over the last 2 months :-)

Don't kill it, Jarrod. Trap it in a sack if possible. It's more than likely not poisonous, but any doubts give the police a ding and ask them what to do.

Thank you for your kind comments :-) Luke, I hope you'll be able to salvage something from the images. Faulsky, two Saturns can't be a bad thing :-) Gerry, for once I think I was able to get a hint of the seeing you get in Canada :-) Shaun, thank you :-)

Good on you, Jarrod :-) It's a cracking image and well deserved. Hope you're having fun with this gorgeous summer we're at last enjoying :-)

May the force be with you :-)

Sleep and eat well and try to relax. Night before each exam, review your notes and do something you enjoy doing :-)

Muahahaha :-) Evil Sun stealing grin from Spain :-)

Thanks for the replies :-) Hope you all had a nice session :-)

Sounds lovely, Jules. I've been wondering for a couple of days now, but what are you mounting on the EQ5?

Cracking skies! I can barely get over 50x most of time :-)

Good luck! This hobby can sometimes be very frustrating.

Hope you and your little one have a good night, Faulksy :-)

I'm really not sure, Pleiades, but perhaps asking on Cloudy Nights would be more conducive to your enquiry?

Fortunately it's been quite a run of clear days here. I've made sketches each day but when scanning them in they turn to muchy blurs :-( Fugured it best not to share them in such a state :-)

A lot of April was like that here; rain, clouds. Looks like summer is beginning now but the weather in 'Valencia' is some of the worse I've seen in Spain. A lot of heat in the daytime and come night, a lot of cloud. Hopefully this year will be better....

I guess next week will be hot and muggy here, Shaun but today, the clouds cleared. I have to do the weeks shopping but when I get back I'll post up a few sketches.

Look forward to the 1st light report, Ghostdance :-)

Great stuff, Shaun. Hope you had a nice session and didn't get too cold. Here it's the usual rainy, cloudy Spain :-(
