      Absolutely, the darker the better for everything, but my theory is that it's good to have some 25-75% Moon Ha targets and proper dark skies are best for L/R/G/B/OIII/SII subs... It's L tonight.

      I'm on an 'Anything But Ha' gathering mission in these rare conditions tonight!

  4. If you can't beat 'em, join 'em - planetary cam now on the C8 and looking forward to a bit of Moon and maybe some Jupiter...

  5. So, Met Office says 'clear' and Clear Outside says 'cloudy' - I go with Met Office forecast, but Clear Outside has got it right... Damn! I know what will happen too, as son as I pack everything away - yes, you know too!

  6. Oh look, showing perfectly clear for all friday night and guess what? You got it, a full moon.

  7. And there goes the seeing.....

  8. Can't decide if it's a go or no go out there tonight...

  9. YAY, 2 month milestone of not toouching a single ciggy, thank heavens for vapiing on E cigs

  10. Guiding tonite! (and its a good un!)

  11. The subs are rolling

  13. 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.

  15. Guiding tonite! (not sure for how long though!)

  16. Hmmm... its cleared up. Perhaps its time to go fishing for photons!

  17. Could the forecast be true? If so an all-nighter looks possible tonight. Please Cloud Gods, be kind...!

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

      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...

      Excellent, well done! It's improving here. The wind seems to be slightly less violent and the sky is really really clear - stunning.

      For once I'm happy that I have a pretty high horizon around my back garden and it is quite protected at ground level. The trees are a bit noisy though!

      It's up and running, first sub collected, seems to be ok. Fingers crossed!
