  1. Would love to see the eclipse tonight, but I stupidly went for a long cycle today and feel totally knackered.

  2. Rain virtually horizontal outside at the moment!

  3. The joys of autoguiding......

      does not sound too promissing if that was where you trailed off

  4. Week off of Sixth Form, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE BE CLEAR!

      It will be clear so don't panic. However it may not be clear where you are. But somewhere it will be clear.

      Judging by the way you describe your job I would rather sit the exams!

      Heh :) Wouldnt be so bad if we had one big hall, but we were running 28 rooms at the same time.... logistical nightmare! Worked out ok so far (got a good team), bar the odd blip (students asleep, tears etc..), thats where words of motivation and encouragement come in handy.

      I feel your pain... I've got four (though I did one of them today). I think that as long as you revise enough, it should be ok. (Fingers crossed!)

      Thanks for your comments. Good luck to you Superdavo too!

  7. Really want to go out for a while tonight as clear sky forecast, but have an AS Genral Studies exam in the afternoon. Descisions, descisions!

      No decision at all. You work for the exam, muck that up and penalties are more then most realise, the sky will be there for the next few million years and in that time one night should be clear.

      Thought the same and didn't go out. Why do they do exams in the clear summer months and not in the wet, miserable winter!!!!

  8. AS Exams start tomorrow :-(

  9. A clear sky? What is this madness!?

  10. Very sad to hear of Astronomia ceasing trading.

  11. Do wish the forecast would make up its mind for Friday!

      Just checked 3 different ones and it is either 100% cloud, 100% clear or cloud-clear-cloud-clear in 2 hour spells. Set the alarm I think and check via the window seems best.

  12. Forecast showing a few clear hours this evening.......

  13. PHD really not plaiying ball at the moment!

  14. Seriously starting to get fed up with this weather.

      This is nothing....wait until the 1000 grim winters start !

  15. Just got back from a great weekend at the Herstmonceux Astronomy Festival, two nights of clear (ish) skies and great company!
