Enjoy!  It's nice out there.  Just come in from a swift half hour with the frac on Jupiter and some nice brighter doubles.

Yes Jupiter was beautiful.

Bet the coffee's good tho! Small, sweet and strong :)

Yes, a consolation

Which direction are you going? The LA route I found very long as it was 2 long hops, I would guess the UK - Eastward route would have 2 stops ??. Odd I recall the flight out but cannot recall the flight back at all.

London, Hong Kong, Auckland, Wellington.

Fantastic! Enjoy those Southern skies. WooHoo!

Friday looks a possibility for your area., maybe even Saturday as well.

I feel your pain

Rained an hour ago, now CLEAR. Arcturus visible due West and Saturn S West, still somewhat light however, on the cool side. Looks promising.

Been clear a few miles south of you a few times in the last couple of weeks, you must have had some bad luck, or have a rotten local weather pattern.

same here in cheltenham 2 weeks nothing but clouds :(

Welcome to the H alpha clan. Enjoy.

that would be brilliant, ranked number 1 for the best skys. have a great time

Guess you have been but if not personally I would avoid going via LA. LONG tiring 2 hop flight. Cost me my birthday as well - it didn't exist owing to the date line. Never sure about the "skies" the Maori name is Land of the Long White Cloud.

Best hide all them unofficial purchases :)

Be like the simpsons where they turn moe's into a pet shop during prohibition at the touch of a switch. Telescope becomes a lamppost, etc.

Solid tips...thanks. OTA's make nice jardiniers....

and now it is 100% blue sky..I am off to throw myself off a molehill...

Same, cloud, cloud and more cloud, then at 11:00 it cleared.

Save some of that clear skies for next Saturday as I will be up your way visiting my mum.

Also saw the Venus-Uranus conjuction

Norwich too...

Used to live in Ely 15 years ago, the place went mad when it snowed

That is my first snow in 10 years....
