Just managed to catch 5 minutes of observing the shadow of Io on Jupiter before clouds fully rolled in. Also managed to see a nice bright green meteor though also at 22:56, which must have been bright as I saw it through thin cloud/haze in the direction of Leo.

Managed to bag Venus just before I went behind houses, and Mercury too for the first time for ages. Pushed the mag a little, but could see the phase of Mercury very easily. Had a quick peek at Mars too!

Looking good for clear skies tonight! Hurrah!

New scope arrived today! Only quite small, so smallish cloud penalty right?
-
Hopefully looking good for a few hours cloud free tonight. A quick bite to eat and I'll be straight out! ?

Can't wait to test out my 6/8 SE Goto mount when I get back home, so hoping for some clear skies for Friday night and the weekend! Fingers crossed!
-
Woo hoo! Forecast is for clear skies tonight. Fingers crossed! I'm getting excited already! Hehe!

Managed a quick smash and grab session for 20mins between clouds on Jupiter and the Moon with my grab n'go Porta mount and ST120 frac. Seeing was poor on Jupiter, but not too bad on the moon.

Finally, managed to grab a few hours observing between cloud belts! Great to see some old friends again (M81 & 82, M42, M36, 37 &38, along with Venus, Mars and the moon!)
Only wish it could have lasted longer, but it was better than the zilch that I've had for the last two weeks!

British weather sucks! It's official!
