Steady on JB!

Well, 1 Perseid and that was all, nothing on camera I think either.

That is one more than me, Jarrod! Forecast went downhill for us, it was looking good at one stage, moon tucked out the way for later as well! Hoping for some weekend Sol now, just rain and rain here Thurs and Fri! Look forward to you being back in business. Hope all has gone well!

I saw two the night after but dozed off towards the end. Things have gone pretty good with the move, messy but good. Looks like cloud and downpours though this weekend.

Cheers guys! That is true Gutross, I actually think the LP may be a bit better there. Time will tell.

Thanks Jules, glad you have settled in now. It's a bit chaotic at the moment here but I think we are on track. Not panicking just yet.

whats the problem then mate?

Gremlings.

Hate mail! .... lol

Its probably looking for somewhere to chill out for a while.

we get the odd adder in the garden late springtime when the males are looking for mates,thay seam to do a dance when two males meet,my dogs keep well away from them thay must know thay have a nasty bite.

I can provide a nice recipe.....

Cheers!

Well done jarrod

Congrats, Jarrod :D Well deserved, a classy disc. Always look forward to your images. Oh yes, we're all dipping in the pools here in the UK cough cough. Actually, it's half decent today, I'd almost dip a toe in the sea :D

To be honest Ant I didn't do anything, firecapture would read the camera but wasn't running it so I turned it all off and when I started again in the evening it was all fine. I still don't know what was the problem but a restart fixed it for me.

Mmmm think mines a little more terminal than that. Tried restore point, reinstalling drivers and software, ccleaner. Glad your sorted though :)

Hope you can sort it out soon, sorry I can't be of much help.

Hard work all this solar imaging ain't it.

I think your rain has come here, Jarrod :-o I am bracing myself for a tough summer solar period, sun tan lotion, sunglasses, cold drinks, baseball caps, but you do what ya gotta do :D

Hard life aint it. :D At one point they were saying tomorrow was going to be 31°c here but that has been revised to a brisk 26° now.

Ta Luke! Well it cleared up here a bit this morning after some rain, I got a mosaic in but we will see if that turns out. Hopefully after next week when it clears up we will be back at the lovely spring temps getting a tan again.

Hope you're right, Jarrod :-) I'm getting fed up with this. I've had two night sessions and two Sun sessions this month and February wasn't much better :-)

Hope so too, it can't be any worse.

Wohoo, what a day! Congrats and good luck for completion. Lucky No. 7 hopefully.

Congrats!

Thanks Luke and Amra. We are at the point now if we pull out we lose our deposit and if the sellers do they pay us double so I'm certain it will happen now.

Decided to fire up the bbq, roast beef or chicken?

snowing here

Brrr, I actually miss that. Always liked snow!

Pretty rough here as well. Strong winds have started up, so I've packed away the gear. Weekend was good but February in general has been a shameful month.

Yeah the wind picked up after I typed this, even if it's clear like now it has been so windy. Definitely my numbers last year were almost daily for February. Not this year though.

Today and tonight would be a good one to test the mak out for both. Conditions here are very good atm.

Excellent day isn't it, Jarrod :-) I went up in t-shirt and came down sweating. My girlfriend's away this weekend, so I'm having a perfect day of doing nothing but planning a session, viewing the Sun, collimating the dob etc. Suppose I ought to wash the dishes but I'm alergic to water :-)

Yep, it's gorgeous! The in-laws are here so it's a good excuse to get outside.

That is finished images, I'd hate to think how many went into all of them.

With the vast number of weather complaints, how have you managed more then 1 for each day of the year?

The weather is a touch better down in Spain plus the majority has been solar in both white light and Ha. It's a record of some sort for me though.

Clouds and more clouds here too. Yesterday around 2pm I could at least make out where the Sun was :D You've been doing some cracking shots Jarrod, hope the seeing improves soon!

Cheers guys, cloudy would of made me grumpy too.

lol, now it's cloudy.

Have a look at the Jetstream: One arm right up the centre of the UK, another bigger one right over Alicante.

Yeah it seems to have parked over us for the week. Like David I have chucked a heap of data this week.

Yikes, I was keeping my fingers crossed for tomorrow! :D

Missed the occultation itself but just caught both in the same FOV which is a first for me.

Went to the beach yesterday, but saw the sunset :-)

Not a bad way to spend the evening, can't beat a sunset.What is the water like? Thinking about taking the kids.
