      Sadly my fence is a bit too high. Where's my saw...

  4. Funnily enough, whilst your adventure involved escaping Suffolk my adventure began by leaving London for Suffolk. Driven by the expectation of a clear Friday morning in Suffolk I should have paid more attention to the forecast, although at this time of year a forecast can be more like a random guess. As you might well know, you made the right decision, the cloud cover was 100% in Suffolk. By Friday afternoon I was taking a stroll around Southwold, in glorious sunshine!!!
  5. Scope reinstated on the pier, polar aligned, mount running fine. Three star align, selected M57, bingo! All systems set for the new season.

  6. Gorgeous blue skies and golden sunsets, but I will be asleep by the time it gets dark!

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

      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!

  10. Less than two weeks till Kelling! I`ve started getting the camping gear out of hibernation to give it a check over.

  11. Been observing every night since Thursday! And back out tonight, it must be a record!
