    Very clear night. Just driven back from Salisbury via Winchester and Guildford, so too tired to get out imaging kit. Did however witness a very bright early Geminid meteor. Always a treat to see!

    Can very much recommend visits to Salisbury and Winchester Cathedrals. They are architectural and historical gems.

    George back home in Lowestoft.

      I did the tower tour when I visited Salisbury Cathedral, absolutely mind-blowing experience.  We stood out on the balcony at the base of the spire to breath taking views of the surroundings as well as the awesome view of the spire towering up into the sky , literally reaching for the heavens. I felt dizzy looking down as well as feeling dizzy looking up!

    By the time this cloud clears the Sun will be a Red Giant, Betelgeuse would have gone supernova and the Andromeda galaxy will be twice as close.

      It will be interesting, I'll have to learn the constellations again as well! After the fog it will probably snow!

      My wife has family in the village of Winkleigh, one night after a wedding down there I took a look at the sky, being a Londoner, the view of the milky way was simply stunning!

      Never mind Fozzie, maybe next time. I`m old enough to remember the power cuts of the 70`s but was too young to realise to get outside and enjoy the view

    Want to sell my C8 and CG5-GT for a pre owned CPC9.25 but I don't think my other half would be too happy.

      Just say that it is specially designed for not having a garden and that a happy half makes a happy whole!

      It was at a dark site in Suffolk. However the transparency was not as good as it could have been.

      A nice clear frosty night sounds good to me. Fingers crossed.

    Mars at opposition and it`s clear! Still looked like jelly on a plate though.

      That`s a great description! Tonight the seeing was a lot better, some nice surface detail to be seen. More like as calm as a bag of slugs!
