      I was just nipped out to put the bins out for collection tomorrow and I noticed it was clear too. A bit late to get setup now sadly.

  2. It's my birthday! Received a couple of interesting astro books- quiet day planned

  3. A clear night tonight and I'm stuck indoors with a cold (or is it flu). I've had this for almost two weeks now - gah.

  5. Put new mount (EQ5) through its paces last night and got some nice frames of Jupiter - Seeing was poor though.

      Great stuff. I hope that you enjoy using it.

  6. Clear all day, put my telescope out, now 100% cloud. Typical!

      It was cloudy here all day so I wasn't expecting much. I've been there before - nothing worse.

  7. Scope out - cloud coming in - grr...!

      I feel for you. It's happened to me lots of times.

  8. Happy 'winter' to all stargazers on SGL :)

      Let's hope that we'll get decent clear skies.

  9. Oh darn clouds. I got set up under clear skies and then the cloud rolled in. At least I got my camera, with a newly acquired coma corrector, focused and flats taken. Perhaps I'll get the chance to use it before the moon starts swamping the sky.

      Aenima,

      Sorry I've been a bit quiet. Having fun with imaging using a second-hand Nikon D70s. Not great images by the standards on SGL but it keeps me amused. The coma corrector works a treat and I get sharp (all going well) stars right out to the edges of the images. I'm hoping to get going with the xbox camera once Jupiter is back in view from my garden. Alsoi itching to have a go at Mars again.

      I've had a coma corrector for almost two weeks and I still haven't had the opportunity to use it.

  12. So much for today having clear skies

    1. WaveSoarer

      WaveSoarer

      I'm looking at the radar images with baited breath. Clear here at the moment but there is an ominous bank of cloud coming off the North Sea. Hopefully it will disperse but ...

      I was lucky enough to meet Frank Close and he's a great scientist and communicator. I'll be getting a copy of this book too and thanks for the heads up.
