  1. I wonder if the clouds will go away if I remove the dust from my telescopes? But most likely it will start to rain...

      Best way to guarantee clear skies, sell your scope!

  2. Greetings! It's been way too long since I visited SGL. And I need to get one of my scopes outside soon...

  3. Wohooo! New binoculars arrived today at last! Surprise, surprise, it's cloudy...

  4. C/2014 Q2 Lovejoy through binos a few minutes ago. Nice and easy target. :)

  5. I can see sta.... clouds....

  6. Aaaargh! Clouds!!! :(

  7. free from work for three days (plus the weekend). What are the odds for getting a clear sky during the nights?

      None + bright moon = zero.

      Chances are either exactly zero or a value that is less then zero. At the present I would say less then zero - reminds me I must put the big umbralla back in the car, suspect I will neeed it. :-)))

      less then zero for the next 7 days :(

  8. C/2014 E2 Jaques spotted with my cheap Celestron UpClose binos last night!

      Nicely done under these rainy days. Maybe your angle woke you on time?

  9. Last Thursday, a new star was born. My incredibly beautiful daughter. Proud and happy father! :-)

  10. Finally decided to get SkyTools 3 Standard Edition. No more sloppy, hard to read handwritten observing lists. :)

  11. Clear sky, pulled out the dob to try to spot C/2012 K1 PANSTARRS, tweaked collimation for a few minutes. Only to be beaten by clouds... :(

  12. Three sessions so far with the ES82 30mm. This EP rocks!!! :)

  13. I need more time for astronomy!!!

  14. Havn't had time for astronomy lately, but hopefully I'll be able to get a few telescope sessions soon.

  15. I think my 4 months old puppy is a planet (Jupiter) gazer. Actually, I'm sure he is!

  16. Ahhh, had a nice session with my binos under a clear sky. At last!

  17. Ohhh clear sky all of a sudden and I'm stuck at work. Got to see ISS during a coffee break at least...

  18. Oh no! More clouds!!!

  19. And it's still raining...

  20. Uhm, yeah it's raining... *sigh*

      Not raining here at the moment. BUT it is going to, getting darker and darker.

  21. FedEx just arrived with a package from FLO. Making Every Photon Count and an SGL beanie hat. :)

  22. I saw sunspots! Yay! Still not able to put enough weight on my injured foot to get a scope outside, so it was through an open window. Better than nothing at least...

  23. Ordered Making Every Photon Count from FLO today, just out of curiosity. Oh and an SGL beanie hat! :-D

  24. Got the cast removed yesterday. Now I'll need physiotherapy for a few weeks. Probably going to take some time until I'll be able to carry a scope outside though.

  25. Our 10 weeks old puppy "told" me what he thinks about astronomy, by pooping on my dob's rocker box... *sigh*

      Well the weather has been ''crappy"...so he was probably agreeing :)

      Oh didn't think about that.Yeah that could be what he actually meant.
