      I don't care, I'm going out in the wind...I've been waiting for a week to try my new eyepiece. According to the MetOffice, the wind will ease down after midnight...probably not

      Ay, we also have an evening of wind but I'm heading out to the dark site tonight (6 hour round trip). Next week looks bad (you guys up north are chucking your rain and clouds down on me), so take advantage of the relief.

      There was an explanation for this several years ago, and I think it came from a reputable source. Whatever it was it made a fair degree of sense. However I also recall thinking wouldn't a bit of wind negate the idea. When I read bits like this I wish I had paid a bit more attention to it. When it comes to weather however there are a lot of ideas. Think the pollutants from cars had something to do with it.

      You could certainly be right there Ronin. In recent years, we have broken weather records countless times. Seeing as there are more cars on the roads now, you may well have a point.

  17. If i win the euromillions, i'm gonna buy an observatory, in clear skies..and all SGL members can use it.
