      Joys of having the observatory - just fired the laptop up to go out and put my boots on - the lawn looks like one big mud slide ;)

      Seeing is good, but wind and ckoud a nightmare

  10. Some nice Jupiter data tonight - Windy but fair and clear down this end of the country

  11. Will have to be gentle, but definitely going out tonight for a little imaging - can't waste the oppurtunity ;)

      I almost smashed my kit last night...take things out..clouds and wind...go back inside clear...go out again...clouds again...come back inside...clear again... was absolutely disgusting.

  12. Tramadol is scary stuff - I was contemplating nipping out to the obs tonight before it started to wear off :(

      Whatever you do, don't mix it with alcohol, very unpleasant..!

      Add a little Ketomin into the mix. Effect lasts for hours then :-)

      Hmm, think I can cope without that thanks very much. I'll stick with brufen and paracetamol ;)

  13. Major Rain down here tonight - hope all's well in Somerset!

  14. Under the knife tomorrow and a couple of weeks light duty ;)

      Hope all goes well, Snakey. Rest up and take care of yourself.

      Cheers Qualia and All - I saw the very best of the NHS yesterday, first class service. No observing for a week or so, but should soon be back up and running! Fortunately the UK weather means I'm not missing out too much ;)

  15. Server Migrations - there's always a catch..

  16. Clouding up for the GRS Tansit :(

      I've managed to get some AVIs of Jupiter with the GRS, but high cloud has played havoc with the quality :(

      I did get 45 minutes of pretty good, just waiting for PIPP to presort my capture, but some looks ok even @ F22 - lets hope I get one reasonable set!

    3. Ant

      Ant

      I processed one of my AVIs and to be honest they look really bad. Can't see much coming out of mine. Hope yours are better :)

  17. If it rains any more I shall take up boat building and start collecting animals - 2 cats and 2 kids is a start in this line!

      We've had the sun for a couple of hours this afternoon - almost felt like spring, but sadly a brief interlude before another round of heavy rain for tonight and Saturday.

      Word of advice: Do not collect 2 wives. Did you know that the Chinese idiogram for "trouble" is 2 women under 1 roof. ;-)

    4. SnakeyJ

      SnakeyJ

      Clever people the Chinese - However I think in the case it's one of each sex, though I think Noah included a family ticket for his sons and their wives. The 2 x 2 bit may be a more recent lyrical interpretation.

  18. Back to the grind and catch a couple of early nights

  19. Jupiter looks good tonight

      Thanks Chris I managed about 90GB, or 15 runs on Jupiter at just under 4x (3800mm on my 200P). Seeing was pretty reasonable and I also managed a little lunar IR at the f/l as a quick experiment.

      Great evening, but now the kids are up it's impossible to find the time to process anything!!

    3. Christopher Davenport

      Lol, I constantly being nagged by missus because I am processing instead of playing with the kids.

      BTW. Nice capturing.

      I've just had it in the neck myself - though fair play ;)

  20. SGL on Record - Having my own star party tonight. Looks good so far :)

      You shouldn't view when under water.
