      I would've liked to listen to that.

      Nice. Weather needs a personality transplant over here.

      Not that brilliant here either, but managed to grab the brief clear spell

  5. Whoever said 13 was an unlucky number?

    1. Luke

      Luke

      The same guy that sang two out of three ain't bad? Steady seeing here but transparency was not the best. Still, clear is clear! :)

      Luke

      Silly me, I am 2 out of 4. Hmmm! Anyway, congrats, Michael, can you get a whole rotation?!!

  6. 6 days of sun! In the running for a whole week of full disks in H-alpha!!

      Should have been...

      "...Buying bread from a man in Brussels

      He was six foot-four and full of mussels." - damn auto spelling.

  8. Fleeting sun here. Captured some data, processing them now.

    1. David Smith

      Look forward to seeing them later. I managed to grab some white light data this morning for the first time in a couple of days. Will process tonight after work.

      The data should be stacked when I get home from the boys' guitar lessons

  9. Just seen some of the best views of Jupiter for a long while. Grabbed some data, of course!

      Nice one, hoping to do a bit of Jupiter tonight, maybe try an A-focal image

  10. Sunshine!

    1. Ruud

      Ruud

      Ja! Isn't it wonderful? And I've already put my scope out for tonight.

  11. What's this? A scope cooling outside?

  12. Merry Xmas!

      Merry Christmas and a healthy and happy new year with lots of clear skies to you too !

  13. SUNSHINE!!!!

    1. Pig

      Pig

      I saw a glimpse earlier Michael but it soon disappeared.

  14. Caught some more sunlight this morning

    1. Luke

      Luke

      Look forward to seeing the fruits of your labour. Manage a bit of Quark tuning testing at last here though thin cloud may have hampered results! I think I can conclude from the image on the lappy screen that two clicks clockwise is off band by some way. Funny, every other Quark I have had - and Sarah's - seems to like 2 clicks clockwise or more.

  15. Clear skies, new moon, scope cooling outside!

    1. Pleiades M45

      Pleiades M45

      Haven't had that in awhile. During the week it's nice and clear all day and night. Weekends come when I have free time and its cloudy..

  16. managed to grab some H-alpha data during lunch

    1. David Smith

      David Smith

      Look forward to a big mosaic later then. Back to infinite cloud again here today : (

  17. clear sky predicted for tomorrow!

    1. YKSE

      YKSE

      Same forecast up here. :-) Fingers crossed.

  18. Just spotted Jacques (C/2014 E2, that is)

      Nice! I hope the sky stops crying here

  19. My eldest just got his green belt in judo

    1. nightfisher

      nightfisher

      nice one, my daughter made it to black belt in twa kwon do but she has had to give up due to health

  20. Lo and behold, some sunshine. No solar scope present, of course

    1. Luke

      Luke

      If you have taken your scope in, it would be cloudy. I know this for a fact! :D Scope and cloud here... I am hoping for Super Solar Saturday. Friday Night with the Planets and Globs would not be bad either! Are you gonna go for the Lunt 50??

  21. We even had some sunshine just now!!

    1. alan potts
