Welcome in Geoff, Im down in Devon, glad you chose to join us :-)

It was Ieper that we visited, very warm but cloudy at night (when it wasn't raining) Lovely people indeed

I'm looking to buy a filter for my skywatcher it is supposed to improve viewing the moon. 1st question is does it make a difference And 2nd question £8 to £80?? Does increased cost make a huge difference? Cheers guys Mick

We are visiting Belgium for a couple of days on the bike, 29 c and clear ish sky's I just wish we could fit the sky watcher on it

fair point...

soon be summer ....

Apologies i appear to be getting withdrawal symptoms, I cant even see the moon at silly 'o' clock hopefully I am alone?

welcome in Chris, hopefully the clouds WILL move on

Thankyou for raising this topic, there is some great advice being offered which I shall follow

It seems to be cloudy all the time down here! I reckon at least nearly 3 months since clear skies were available at night

Many thanks :-)

Welcome in Chris, hope you are getting more clear skies than Devon

It is now December, the lights go off about 1.30 am and on about 05.30 am... its still cloudy and windy (give the weather fronts as many cuddly names as you want, they are not cuddly) the geminids approach, cant wait

In its continual search for money savings the council now turns the street lights off at night, just need a clear sky now, one week and still waiting..

Take a stick or something for a brace if you are using binos , at that hour your hands may not be too steady..
