  4. 4 weeks without a clear night.....That's it for 2015!

  5. Erm... I can see little white dots in the sky and no clouds... how odd!

  6. Getting really sick of this weather now. It's December, where is the cold, clear, crisp days gone? I can handle the cold, hate the wet.

  7. At last a few hours of observing in the bag. Sketched M81,81 and 42 tonight. flocking has made a huge difference.

  8. looking good, 200p setup and cooling and its getting dark soon...

  9. Got my first look at the ring nebula today... I was surprisingly underwhelmed. But then it was in the most light polluted part of the sky and transparency was less than desirable. Mag 4.2 was a struggle. I'll have to try again next year.

  14. I am a real beginner to look at the night sky. I am going to Ireland for the Christmas period , Co Waterford in fact. I know that the night skys are very clear and would be a great opportunity to look at the sky at night. My question is : are there map available that can help with identifying what I might see

      I managed to get out just now. Moon was so bright even at 0.7mm exit pupil. Got some good views of some craters real close up, 180x. It was especially good since I didn't need my glasses. Then the clouds rolled in, might have been yours, xtreemchaos, since they came from the north.
