      Too true. Must be up there as one of the worst beginnings to June in recent years.

      I honestly can't remember my last clear night. I think it was at Kelling Heath in April.

  2. Eclipse... What eclipse?

  3. What a horrible day!

  4. Thank you and farewell, Cassini.

  5. Occultation totally clouded out. Oh, quelle surprise...

  6. Not holding out much hope of seeing the occultation tonight.

      Sigma-1 Tauri (mag 5.1) was being occulted by asteroid 6925 Susumu (mag 17.8).

      Well... we both missed it then! :-( :-)

  7. You know it's Summer when... You wait for it to go dark, set your telescope up and realise that it's light again.

      haha so true! I've had a couple of nights of wondering why everything was starting to looked washed out and then realised it was because the sun was coming up!

  8. Just waiting for it to go dark. Well a bit dark. Just a little bit... oh, go on!

      Really looking forward to it!  My first one.

  10. Beginners - start with binoculars, for pity's sake!

  11. Come the fat moon, come the clear skies...

  12. Well, that was a mudbath!

  13. Yup, me too. Tonight's forecast says it will be clear. Mind you, it did last night as well...

  14. What's happening to the sky? There are patches of something... blue.

      Not here it's not, just the 50 shades of grey that seem to be normal now..

      It was clear here last night. But with barely 2hrs of twilight to play with, I decided to give it a miss (im not setting up at midnight!). Now bring forth the darkness!

  15. Galloway booked for November.

  16. Something's gone wrong with the natural order. I actually got to see the eclipse!

      Me too, quite amazing really considering what the weather usually does to us :)

  17. No clear, moonless nights for 6 weeks now. Getting antsy.

  18. Venus and Mercury - lovely naked eye pairing this evening.

      I saw them when out on a walk too. Made me happy.

      Through dramatic cloud fortesses, they were indeed a lovely sight as they have been the past few evenings. Still excited to see Mercury, a first for me :)

  19. Two unexpected clear nights this month. Wahay! Clear again tonight, but too moony to go out.

  20. What are the chances of another clear moon-free night before next year?

      Slim at the mo. November was a bit pants, 2 nights is all I got. Woke up this morn to a blue sky, so theres hope yet.

      Nice blue skies here too, but my weather software says 100% cloud cover for tonight, damn frustrating.

  21. Looks like it's shaping up for a clear one!

  22. Yes! It's down! Kudos ESA!

  23. Heart's a bit in mouth at the moment. Happy landings Philae!

  24. Back to deep dark cloud until the next full moon, then.

  25. Oh yeah. It's clear now. The huge Moon has sucked all the clouds away. Great. :-(

      Huge Moon = clear sky ;-(
