      Depending on the severity of the disease bills can be lower. Ocularitis can be a worse condition. Eyepieces are small, they can go anywhere and therefore attack the immune system :D

  3. The sky is finally clear. Hope it stays that way all night.

  4. Clear blue sky at last. Tonight's weather forecast looks very promising as well. Scope time I hope!

  5. Nothing but clouds and rain, lots of rain since mid August. Getting slightly frustrated!

    Got the binos out to look for sunspots today and then I thought I'd snap a few photos as well. Konica Minolta Dynax 5D + Minolta 100-400 zoom lens + Baader AstroSolar Safety Film. Image quite heavily cropped and I tried to change the (colour on the right version) to get a bit more pleasing result.
