yeah same here crash! got jupiter for 5 mins then saturn for about 10, better than nothing!

ive put a cap on my spending now! new scope and eyepiece set has thinned me out for a while, just hope the weather is good enough to use it. good luck! :)

yeah i have the BST 8mm and its just brilliant looks so clear and crisp, still cant believe it :)

well i am free sat so hopefully! - i wanted to see the eclipse although its only a small one but wanted to spend some time looking at saturn on 28th if its bad then im going to cry lol

well its clearish now so fingers crossed it lasts, even just 10 mins on the moon will do :)

i am getting a skywatcher 150pl its a pretty good scope but has a slight focus on planets and lunar rather than DSO but can manage well in both, bought it off a helpful chap on the forum so fingers crossed its better :)

im not going back out till after i get my new scope on tuesday so fingers crossed for a clear Wednesday :)

its pretty high at the moment so worth a look if you have an iphone use the compass or a normal one if you have one and point to 146deg (check with stellarium at exact time) and look for a brightish star that doesnt flicker and thats how i found it, it somehow doesnt look real its weired, good luck :)

yeah it was a bit difficult to find, between 2 houses and a street light but was amazing even for just 20 mins, very hard to see as its tiny but still amazing!

congrats i was amazed too cant believe how far away it is and yet how easy it is to see, blows my mind :)

moon is out now but very hazy, i am aiming for about 9:30/10 and see what its like then :)

moon and jupiter at around 270 deg west should be a good night ;)

yeah thats what i have done nightmare really thought tonight was going to be good oh well, fingers crossed for 2moro :)
