Uranium235

Unexpected clouds! Doh!

Just done 2 hours on Stephans Quintet. ATM im attempting the impossible - the Helix nebula. PHD is dancing all over the shop at that one.

You brave man - I'm beginning to see a constant here... If it's a mad crazy idea, Rob's on it!!!! Good luck - fab target and one that I would love to try one day, but too many 'easy' ones to pick first!

Ran out of sky on the Helix, so im now on the Pacman for the rest of the night.

trip out to the forest me thinks!!

Looking good here up until midnight!

Very misty here, no astonomising for me tonight :(.

Lucky for you!

Cloudy here :(

Lucky you, it's pants here... Fill yer wells!

least u got some subs under your belt then.... :)

shame you had to chuck the subs from the 5th tho :(

Why did they have to go? Was it just too much moon?

Well, while I was taking the snaps, fireworks were going off in the general direction of my imaging, loads of smoke, full moon and a poor sky (with large lunar halo).

Can't wait to see the finished Mosaic :)

You're a braver man than me! (And it's raining here...)

Well, first sub ruined already. Too much fast moving bits of cloud. I'll give it til 10pm.

If I can get a couple of hours in tonight, then its one less pane to do tomorrow (well, thats the plan!).

It's clouded over again... That's it, I'm packing up and off to bed! Hope you're getting on better than me!

3am I packed up last night. Managed to get to the 6th pane before the guiding started to pack up - was just too tired to do anything about it though, really needed some zzzz's.

Well done!

Grrrrrrr.

Heard it a couple of days back and just checked, apparently every second between 16 and 17 million tons of rain fall every second on the earth.

Most of that seems to be in the UK.....

Been there, done that! Too many times. :o(

Good luck... Got a target?

Yep, going for something new (Sharpless) - but ive had a few gremlins tonight so its only just got going really.

SH2-171 (NGC7822), its quite big.

Nasty - I hope you get it sorted swiftly.

Opticstar stock them £99. ;)

sounds good, whats your target

Finish off IC1396, then maybe try for some dark stuff - either the Iris or NGC1333, still yet to decide.

Oh yeah! It's looking pretty good too! What's your target of choice?

Beyond tedious. I want to move abroad to a clear sky zone!

Looks gd for tomorrow evening fingers crossed!

Excellent. Guess what... I've had that email too, about an M31 pic I posted back during Star Gazing Live. I look forward to sharing some screen time!! Fingers crossed!

Congrats Gav, will keep a look out for your pic. It will be a case of me pointing at the telly while my better half wonders what all the fuss is about...lol.

Thank you and big congrats to you too! Absolutely - let's just hope it's not a complete 'blink and you miss it' moment...!

Fire is usually a bad sign with electrical devices.

oh no! that does not sound good

yea, good job I was just in the living room - otherwise it might have gotten out of control.

don't worry you have some cracking piccies to show for your efforts :)
