      It gets worse when you have so much to put together for an imaging session for example. If had a nickel every time I spent at least 45 minutes setting up and then...bang...clouds!!

    3. gazza63

      Forecast here. is clouds for the rest of the week.

  5. I keep making the same mistake by believing the Metoffice...clear night turned out to be a wall-to-wall cloudy night...doh!!

      They are normally quite good !!!!

  6. Received my Skywatcher 2" 2x barlow...impressed at the quality..

  7. 3x ED barlow for £15 is a bargain...
