Last night was a cracker in Oulton Broad - best late summer night stargazing I can remember. Sadly as weather during the day had been so bad  my scopes were all packed away. Still enjoyed views through my big bins of the Messiers all the way down to Sagittarius - quite unusual from our backyard as heat from rooves and general pollution usually make for poor viewing as dec drops looking south. Hope you get your new mount up and running soon. I'm still wrestling with my homemade Mk 3 spectrometer - obstinately refusing to work

The same applied down in South Essex.
Sadly having to get up for work closed down the session,
first in a while due to bad back and scope changes.

 

Hi Alan - Sorry to hear about your bad back - I've got one of those but thankfully my stargazing is no longer constrained by work.

I'm looking out the window now and I've got some cloud but its clearing - have looked at all the weather sites for Lowestoft and its giving clear with some cloud - the worst of alll ambiguous forecasts. Do I get all the kit out or not?
