    Completed the Messier Catalog last night with a very faint view of M83

      AndyWB

      I'm pleased! Though now I have to try to get /good/ views of them all...

    1. AndyWB

      AndyWB

      M68 was hard enough last night - AV only...

    Why couldn't i see Jupiter's rings?

    1. AndyWB

      AndyWB

      Or do you man the bands? There's a thread about that...

    Hmm. So my car won't power a hairdryer if the engine is off, and the sidelights can't be turned off. Hmm.

      Hmm. Yes, I'm wondering; if I started building a leisure battery type thing, I'd be tempted to just get a secondary heater...

      I may need to consider a proper dew heater...

    In the last 12 nights 11 have been clear. Not winding up anyone, honest :-)

      And they always seem to be near the full moon...

    Looked at Almach for the first time last night - beautiful colours. Better than Albireo!

    1. AndyWB

      AndyWB

      Nope, didn't know about it. Doubtful in the LP I live in, too. But it's on the list for a dark night!

    3 Messier Objects Remaining - M104, M83, M68

    1. AndyWB

      AndyWB

      Not from home - I live in the middle of town - but from this latitude, yes. And Viewing; I don't do astrophotography!

    Hmm. Big night out in the dark before the working week - or early night ready for tomorrow night's date? Tricky.

    1. AndyWB

      AndyWB

      Well, she's interesting and pretty, so I tried to get as much beauty sleep as possible. I'll need it :)

    OIII filter has arrived!

    1. AndyWB

      AndyWB

      Oh, sorry, just saw this. Got the Astronomik one. Had it out for a long night last Thursday (24th). Very impressed. - Best details of nebulae that I've seen.

  13. AndyWB

    Looks clear here - but I need to be in bed early :/

    1. AndyWB

      AndyWB

      I like your thinking, but that wouldn't have qualified... :)

    Just read a lunar calendar as "Waxing Gibbons"

    1. AndyWB

      AndyWB

      Seems a little harsh on the gibbons, though...

    How accurate is "scope nights" forecasting the weather ?

    1. AndyWB

      AndyWB

      Not too bad, at least in the UK. Dunno about elsewhere.

    VX10L out for delivery...yaahhooooooo!! :)

      Nice! I look forward to a first light report; I was very tempted by one.

    Last night's lesson - when the local football team are playing in the evening, the light pollution is much, much worse.

    1. AndyWB

      AndyWB

      Aye, that's the one!

    6mm Vixen SLV has arrived!

    1. AndyWB

      AndyWB

      Yes, I noticed Saturday - and who's got a wedding to go to? It's never clear on the right nights!

      I just finished week 1. Looking forward to week 2, actually. I think the butler did it.

    Still bothered by who named some of these DSOs. "Hagrid's Dragon", for instance. And surely there should be a "Dobby"?

    1. AndyWB

      AndyWB

      Totally! I'm not complaining - I quite like the name.

    Finally, It was clear, got up around 4, good time to bag SN2014J in M82, near zenith. Good views. :)

      Well done, mornings are hard work...

    Saw M1 from the middle of Reading last night :)

    1. AndyWB

      AndyWB

      You have no idea how many times I've had to explain to my friends that I'm not motorway spotting - especially when I got excited having seen M6!

    Just got my telescope delivered! Going to unbox it right about... NOW!

      Yay!

    I wonder if there is something wrong with me that I want to keep electronics out of my astronomy?

    1. AndyWB

      AndyWB

      I wonder if that's why? I'm a software developer, so the last thing I want to do is fiddle with computers at home...

    Rupes Recta was magnificent last night.
