you must have some dark skies for 20min subs :D

I'm lucky to have pretty dark skies, though an Ha filter and a faint object help to need 30 min subs!

Great here too.

Can't wait!

Will be welcome indeed. :)

know the feeling mate,looked good here but when i setup loads of high cloud and poor seeing...

Looks the same here for tonight, clear blue sky all day, light grey horizon to horizon cloud now.

I feel your pain... Happened to me 3 times in a row!!!

Hopefully... It's all processing now. I was getting about 65fps, so fingers crossed. I was also trying out my new powermate..... I knew I wouldn't hold out long!

Thermals including socks and thinsulate balaclava and woolly hat and astrogloves (can seriously recommend these). We observers are made of tough stuff:)

You got me wanting to see those images, my friend! Glad that you had such a productive night. Sleep? What's that? LOL

Perfect clear sky, perfectly dark, finally gathering subs, sat back in the deck chair scanning the sky, iridium flares, satellites, shooting stars, the Milky Way, even M31 is a faint smudge with the naked eye. I now remember why I love this pastime!!!

Yep, last night was a good un! Shame it was a week night, but Fri looks like more of the same.

A corker... Finally brought the camera back in at 5:30! As for the forecast - lucky you! It's dodgy here for the foreseeable now :-(

Above the clouds - perfect! I keep on consoling myself with the idea that surely it will clear up soon and we will have so many clear nights that I can't cope with the lack of sleep. Even solar is a big ask and how can I possibly just give in to the Moon, my nemesis in all this... Yes, a desert far far away is very appealing. I dream of bunging all the kit in the camper van and setting off for southern Morocco.

Supposed to have had 3 cloudy nights, just been outside and it is clear for the 3rd night. Flaming cold however but clear. I know weather is "chaotic" but this is plain inept.

Ha! I finally know what binning subs in the UK means. They go straight to the bin! 3 times I set up lately, things worked nice, clouds came in. And fog. So thick I could see it floating past my eyes. Three or more weather charts do I consult. The few times I went to my dark sites, guiding didn't work, and my cam to PC connection broke. In my 5 years in the UK, I have never gotten used to the weather patterns here, nor do I wish to. After my 6th year, I must seriously consider movi...

It was a no go....

Yup I had totally forgotten!

Oh! looking forward to your thoughts on the new scope. (I'm hovering over the buy button :P )

With the associated inevitable cloud, it may be a while before my first light post, but it will come eventually!

Forecast by whom, the same people that tell me its sunny when it's pouring down

Dave

Eat less sprouts then! :D

parp!

Hope its panned out right for you - crystal clear her near Exeter :)

Thank you Cloud Gods! Nothing like an all-nighter... Shame I've got work in a few hours time.... :-) Good to hear it was clear down your way too James.

Congratulations!

amazing and well done guys!

+1 well deserved, keep up the good work onward and upward
