SnakeyJ

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 ;)

ohhh how i envy you and your obs haha :) enjoy buddy, hope you get some decent views before the cloud comes back :(

Seeing is good, but wind and ckoud a nightmare

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.

Nice

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 ;)

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 ;)

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!

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 :)

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. ;-)

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.

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!!

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 ;)

You shouldn't view when under water.

Does the dew on my secondary count?

Im hoping to get out too. Im just trying to think of a warm-up target to spend 2 hours on while waiting for Orion to roll into view

GRS transit later aswell. :)

Conditions are very humid, but I've slipped the good ladies hair dryer out already - looks lovely and clear, so lets hope the seeing holds up!

Seeing is quite good here, I'm hoping it will be a good night as theres still a stiff breeze. Got a brandy and coke on the go just to help things along ;)
