    Well, both forecasts look terrible, the Sat24 imagery looks bad, yet somehow I'm out imaging. Just goes to show weather can be very local, and makes up for the time the whole country was clear except me.

      Fingers crossed for you. I didn't have much success last night, couple errors and equipment glitches, but still had a fun session and have a couple quick images to show for it.

    Forecast says clear, Sat24 says otherwise... loads of high level fluff.

      Hope you had some success. Was trying to guide last night for the first time with limited success, not sure if cirrus was a factor. Think I'll set up a widefield lens as well next time so I can check what's moving through.

    Rubbish weather = bake another cake. This time its carrot cake with orange flavoured cream cheese topping.... nom nom nom.

      Makes me wonder if narrowband cake would have fewer calories. ;)

      Sorry to hear that, hope you get it sorted sooner rather than later.

    I really am sick and tired of this! Showing clear all day, go out this evening to do my first lot of imaging and it's foggy. Could quite easily sell up and go back to offroading, at least I can do that in rubbish weather.

    1. Knight of Clear Skies

      Knight of Clear Skies

      Sorry to hear that, it's frustrating when the forecast teases but doesn't deliver. Those clear night when the kit all works do make up for it.

    Added another Takumar to my lens collection, a 28mm f3.5.

    1. Knight of Clear Skies

      Knight of Clear Skies

      Only 5, although I'm going to sell one as it is now redundant. ;) This one was only £17.

    1. Knight of Clear Skies

      May the (gale) force be with you.

  20. hobsey

    With the winds tonight, I think it will be a spot of observing with the bins.

    1. Knight of Clear Skies

      Knight of Clear Skies

      Probably a good plan.

    Well, clear forecast + gusty winds + no moon = got to give it a go!

    1. Knight of Clear Skies

      Knight of Clear Skies

      Good luck if you do give it a try. I'm tempted but I think it's just too blowy here.

  22. Knight of Clear Skies

    One forecast looking good tonight, the other pretty cloudy. I guess the question is: do I feel lucky?

    1. Knight of Clear Skies

      Knight of Clear Skies

      Not the most satisfying session, but did get to check my modded camera reaches infinity focus and could make out the Sadr Region in a 30 second test shot.

    My 1100D is back from modding, now I just need a clear night....

    1. Knight of Clear Skies

      Knight of Clear Skies

      Thanks both of you. Yes, the weather is pretty dire at the moment - karma for the clear run I had when I first got my tracking mount...

      My longest lens is 200mm, so widefield. :) Will probably target a big bright nebula with my 135mm lens - Veil, California or Sadr region maybe.

    Woke up this morning to a leak in the kitchen. Then a few minutes later part of the ceiling collapsed.

    1. Knight of Clear Skies

      Knight of Clear Skies

      Yeah, all fine thanks, although I had been standing under it 5 minutes before it came down to position some buckets and towels. Insurance will take care of it, it's just a pain.
