Got the dob out for the first time in probably 9 months, bit of high cloud and the transparency not the greatest but a pleasant hour or so getting my eye in again before the big boy clouds turned up. Albireo starter for fun, double-double, M13 (no real resolution due to haze but still nice to see again), M57 and a lovely Izar split. Good to get back in the game. I want Neptune next week 😎

What did you see tonight?

Concur with the others, not good seeing at all up in Cumbria. Izar is low down this time of year but not normally a problem. It was an unconvincing split tonight though. Double-double was easier but still not great. I went out for Saturn really but it was so hazy that I couldn't make out much detail at all in the rings. Still, got a hint of the Whirlpool M51 with averted vision which was a surprise given its altitude. Dumbbell nice as ever. Need a good dump of rain to clear the air a bit
