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

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...

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

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.

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

Happy New Year SGL!

Unexpected clear sky. Dob out to cool down. Wish me luck!

And the lousy weather continues. *sigh*

The Lacerta 1:10 Dual Speed focuser upgrade arrived today. It's going to be interesting to install and try it out.

C/2013 R1 Lovejoy bagged two nights ago. :)

Cloud & rain gazing is... boring!

Is it possible to have telescope abstinence?

Got a 38mm PanaView today to try before I buy. It's almost ridiculously huge!

Going to my first astro-meet on saturday, and the weather forecast is looking good! :)

If I ignore the clouds, will they go away?

Clear sky without a cloud in sight. First light when I get home from work in a couple of hours.

Hoping for first light with the dob tonight. Clouds are slowly moving away.

Clouds and rain, makes me insane...

Clouds and more clouds. Probably no first light tonight.

Time to unbox and assemble my new scope. Will post pics shortly.

Picked up two LARGE boxes today. Yay! Unfortunately I'm stuck at work so unboxing/assembly have to be a morning project.

Please, please, let my new scope arrive tomorrow! Although the weather forecast doesn't look good for a first light in a while.

I think I'm getting closer to a decision regarding my upcoming aperture upgrade...

Weather forecast has improved slightly for the upcoming night. Perhaps a chance to enjoy the Perseids after all.

Camera on tripod last night, 342 exposures before the cloud came. No Perseids on frame....
