      Didn't happen... By the time I have gotten ready to go out, clouds came rolling in! Just my luck. :-(

      I have heard that before somewhere but im not quite sure where :-)

      Happens to me loads! Very annoying. Been so long since I've been able to go out with my scope.

  2. summerstars

    Go for a drive. Forgot my scope. Skies were clear... Just my luck!

  3. summerstars

    Been so long since I've been out with my scope... I think it may be starting to feel neglected. Desperate for a clear night... Also one that gets dark sooner than 11pm!

      Clear of summer, that is the key.

  4. summerstars

    Just as I'm starting to feel well enough to be able to lift my scope... The clear skies go. Disappointing.

    It's been a while since I was able to get out with my scope. My achey body just will not allow me to carry anything. :-( Hopefully the next clear night my painkillers will do their job and let me go play out!

      I'm just waiting for some clear skies! Hope your painkillers do the trick as and when the heavens are free from clouds.

    I should be outside with my telescope right now. HMS keeping me confined to my bed. Hopefully better tomorrow night so I can play out!

  7. summerstars

    Clear skies tonight! We're heading out to find Saturn when it gets dark! Yay.

      Did you manage to see Saturn?

      I did! It was amazing! x

      Glad you finally got to see it! An awesome sight indeed. What's next on the tick list?

  8. summerstars

    Sky is clear... Want to go out but too much of a wuss to go out this late alone! Saturn will have to wait another day.

  9. summerstars

    Need those clouds to move...

      Was hoping to get out for the meteor shower later. Doesn't look like I'm going to be able to. What scope you getting?

      i am getting a skywatcher 150pl its a pretty good scope but has a slight focus on planets and lunar rather than DSO but can manage well in both, bought it off a helpful chap on the forum so fingers crossed its better :)

  10. summerstars

    Clear tonight! Scope is already out and waiting for dark skies.

      Same, aiming for lunar tonight :) first time!

    Just saw Jupiter and its moons for the first time ever. Still in awe. Absolutely amazing!

      Your 5" should be suffice and around 120x should be sufficient to reveal interesting detail. Try another night and hopefully one with better seeing conditions.

      Seeing conditions were awful last night (atleast where I am). We have the same scope and I've been able to count cloud bands, colours, moons, all sorts on jupiter. Just keep at it and it will start paying off!

      Seeing conditions were pretty good last night. Was lovely and clear. Probably just patience. Thanks. :-)

  12. summerstars

    Being tempted by the moon. Off out I go... Hopefully get a view of it inbetween clouds!

  13. summerstars

    Fingers crossed for a clear sky tonight!

      Gonna keep my curtains open until bedtime. If it clears beforehand, I'll for off out for a while.

  14. summerstars

    Can anyone recommend a good camping holiday? Child friendly. Wanting to go in August around the time of the meteor shower. Thanks. :-)
