    Taking a quick look tonight, despite the promise of dodgy seeing ;)

    1. SnakeyJ

      SnakeyJ

      Not good tonight, gave up after a single run. Looks like the jet stream is in for the next 5 days or so :(

  2. SnakeyJ

    A little breezy, but seeing is pretty reasonable tonight :)

  3. SnakeyJ
    Motionco are pretty good for mxl belts and sprockets.
  4. SnakeyJ

    Seeing OK, Wind and Cloud Merciless :(

  5. SnakeyJ

    Nice seeing earlier, but now losing out to the cloud!

  6. SnakeyJ

    Time to start packing and have a clear out

  7. SnakeyJ

    BBC Forecast seems to have really lost the plot over the last week!

  8. SnakeyJ

    Forecast wrong again - might get a little more data on Jupiter ;)

      same here, skies were a little clear while forecast said cloud.

    Quick session tonight, but must be ready for work tomorrow ;(

  10. SnakeyJ

    Cold, windy but great trans -hopefully the seeing will deliver ;)

  11. SnakeyJ

    Grrrr! Bloomin cloud....

  12. SnakeyJ

    Looks good for some PI tonight - The wind has dropped some

  13. SnakeyJ

    Hmm - not the curry on this occassion!

  14. SnakeyJ

    Clear, but too windy even for me tonight :(

    1. leelee970

      leelee970

      always bad when you have trouble with wind. lol

  15. SnakeyJ

    Cloud, Gap, Cloud, Cloud, Gap....Just enough time to get setup before the next bank rolls in :(

  16. SnakeyJ

    Great night tonight and lots of data ;)

  17. SnakeyJ

    Out tonight, promising glimpses if only the seeing would settle - 3 pairs of socks ;)

      I don't how you guys do it. I'm in warmer climes and find 10ºC a nippy night :-)

      went out last night - seeing awful, and to top it all -5C. brrrr.

      I think the jet steam is currently ruining it. Jupiter was the worse I have seen the other night in the clearest of skies :(

  18. SnakeyJ

    Good clear sky tonight, but too windy - but tomorrow is looking good

      That's what I'm hoping too. Fingers crossed.

      Same here, will be having another go at Lovejoy.

    3. leelee970

      Too right. I was just going out last night but once I saw the trees blowing I knew it would be pointless. Fingers crossed for tonight.

    For what it's worth, I have found it very hard to differentiate true point of focus over about 6-7 steps driving my single speed OC1. Doubtless in really good seeing it will be easier to refine, but then how often are we blessed with that in UK? For my rig driving a 10:1 microfocuser would be overkill.

    Looks okay for a run out tonight :)

      Hope you get out, last night here started with lots of dew and clouds so I gave in, popped out at 1am and conditions were perfect.

    2. SnakeyJ

      SnakeyJ

      Thanks Jarrod, should stay clear til 2am, with some cloud between 3 and 4. Definitely worth a go as is any gap we get over here at the moment ;)

  21. SnakeyJ

    Looking good tonight as long as the mist holds off ;) Shame it's back to work tomorrow :(

  22. SnakeyJ

    Glad to be inside and at home on a night like this - it's foul outside!

  23. SnakeyJ
    That's a great idea Dave, to keep tension and allow the belt to be easily removed for manual focuser user.
  24. SnakeyJ

    Where have all the clouds gone? :)

  25. SnakeyJ
    Only 12 days from China and £3.38 for both incl p&p! No complaints! The 5v motor was working with the OC1, SX FW, TV x3 and QHY5L-II, but I think this should be a better solution and will all run from my 12v obs supply.
