Can anyone tell me when there is even the slightest chance of a clear night all night in southern England? Really losing the will with all this darn cloud. Where in the world should I choose to move to for clear skies?!

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.

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...

I love those nights straight after a full moon when you can grab a few cheeky hours before being blasted by moon light!

Aargh, that is a proper bummer. I end up snoozing on the sofa and just checking things every now and again through teamviewer on the iPad. Last night turned out good for me - OIII & SII subs for my Heart mosaic. Haven't managed to find the strength to process it yet though - last night was a late (early am) one! Just back to the PHD crash - that kept happening to me because I wasn't using a powered USB hub. Have one now and it's sweet...

Cheeky hour or two gathering OIII subs - hope those pesky clouds and blobby moon give me time...!

Feeling very geeky - managed to solder a cable together for the mount and a bench power supply. Never soldered before, so feeling rather chuffed... It works too!

Loving a clear night. Busy gathering Heart Ha photons...

But it's not meant to be cloudy....... :-( what's more I've suffered massive gremlins in the system so far this evening... Why is this such a testing pastime?!

Excellent - they used my pic of M31 on S@N, I blinked and I still didn't miss it!

Oh look, perfectly clear skies forecast - must be a full moon..... :-(

1800s Subs are lovely, but the 49 darks are taking forever!!

I've just joined the 1800 club... First 30 min sub successfully gathered at 1422mm - Yeeeehaaaar!
