    Somebody up there hates me something bad, forecast 0% cloud cover for next few hrs and finally some patches of blue sky, just as it started to go a little darker and before the moon popped up hey presto 100% cloud covered the sky yet again :(

      Well not so lucky after all lol, just before the moon came up I saw one star for about 5 seconds then the clouds obstructed the entire sky yet again, can see light coming through the clouds where the moon is but that's all. Another disappointing day for me and my scope

    Been in a village 750m above sea level. Only thing I saw was Mars, Jupiter and the Summer Triangle. Damn those clouds!

      Was clear patches here, until of course it started to go darker then thick clouds rolled over. Been terrible for weeks now at 0m above sea level

    So happy today. looked out my window and saw them fixing a broken street light. initially I thought damn more light pollution again but after they left I was happy to notice they had swapped the 2 lights near me with led ones. Here is hoping for clearer less polluted skies :D

      Even though the skies was not clear I was able to determine the light pollution was under half what it was before they changed the lights, All I need now is a good night without clouds to see the difference it will make

      Yeah my first/other is a skywatcher 200P dob. I decided to keep that for viewing and go for a lighter one for imaging so I can transport it about easier

    Bacon sandwich with lashings of brown sauce to distract me from the clouds :D

      Bacon sandwich does sound really good, minus the brown sauce though. I will substitute the brown sauce for sausages
