    1. Fozzie

      Fozzie

      What! No rain.... I don't understand how this could be..?

    2. Chris

      Chris

      Please tell me you took a scope?!?

  2. nightfisher

    Forcast was for clear skies from 10pm so as its been so long i went to dark site, watched the rain, and some great lightning, sky never cleared, but there will be another time

      It was grand here, I could see the mway from my yard and the Double Cluster naked eye..:0 Incredibly still seeing but it was the first time I have seen my lass for a couple of weeks so I was good..:)

      exactly, it turned out thundery and heavy rain last night. I'm glad I was about to set up my kit, otherwise it would've been a disaster

  3. nightfisher

    so i finally get a decent finish time at work with a late start next day.....cloud and rain grrr

    1. Naemeth

      Naemeth

      Sorry about that, the clouds from my new (to me) scope must've drifted down to Huddersfield...

    2. Qualia

      Ay, I think there's some law about that kind of thing, Jules. I don't want to be a downer but it looks like the UK will be hit by quite a lot of cloud over the next few days and into next week :-(

  4. nightfisher

    Oh for a clear night, this is getting beyond a joke

    1. Uplooker

      How long has it been? Only a week for me. I have been teased on a number of occasions, looks as if it going to be clear, then not - only after I have set up though.

  5. nightfisher

    Somethings never change, i buy a nice used refractor and still waiting to use it

    1. Knighty2112

      Knighty2112

      Yep, we’ve all been there mate!

    Not looking good for astro, queensbury is keeping the weather stable if nothing else......Happy new year to all on here

    1. Marki

      Marki

      Happy New Year Jules :)

  7. nightfisher

    Why does the Luna eclipse have to fall on a "up for work morning"

    1. Fozzie

      Fozzie

      But is it going to be clear...? I've already told work I'm going to be tired at not to be disturbing me with anything but asking me if I want a cuppa!

  8. nightfisher

    oh look, yet another cloudy weekend really feel like i am wasting my time

    1. Qualia

      Qualia

      Think it better I keep quiet, Jules and not say anything about the run of clear nights and days we've been having over the last 2 months :-)

  9. nightfisher

    Just for the record, DougM43 has very kindly loaned me his TAL100r to evaluate with the newer 100RS

    1. nightfisher

      So all being well with the weather gods, there will be a report submitted here in a few weeks

  10. nightfisher

    Beer or stargazing? well its cloudy so you can guess

    1. Marki

      Marki

      Correct choice :). Merry Christmas Jules (and to your good lady too) !

  11. nightfisher

    Thinking i might concentrate my astro on Luna only (-:

    1. todd8137

      todd8137

      That would be a great move ,most of the last five years as been moon based and I never get bored of looking at imaging or talking about it

  12. nightfisher

    Moving house in a few weeks...........happy days

    1. Uplooker

      Uplooker

  13. nightfisher

    1. Qualia

      Qualia

      Hope you have a great time, Nightfisher and look forward to the reports.

  14. nightfisher

    1. nightfisher

      nightfisher

      i knew it would be jinxed, i now have to work tomorrow.....see mr nightfisher slope of and bang head repeatedly against wall

  15. nightfisher

    could some one remind me how to use a telescope, it might be clear saturday

    1. cotterless45

      cotterless45

      Practice with a toilet roll, at the moment you're likely to see more !

  16. nightfisher

    Got the Tal set up, getting some gaps in the cloud, but seeing poor, fingers crossed it gets better

    1. foundaplanet

      foundaplanet

      Has it? Clouds rolled over here..

  17. nightfisher

    EEK! im ready to power up the HEQ5 syntrek, after all this time!

    1. nightfisher

      nightfisher

      success!

  18. nightfisher

    Trying to decide on what laptop....doing my head in

    1. Qualia

      Qualia

      Good luck with that one! I'd help if I could, but I'm not so good with computer stuff.

  19. nightfisher

    Must stop buying ep`s

    1. Orionis

      Orionis

      Me too!

      Spent far too much this month on various bits of astro kit :p

  20. nightfisher

    Really big thanks to all the admin team for getting us onto the new site

  21. nightfisher

    Being strangely drawn to the idea of a 10" dob, on a tracking platform

  22. nightfisher

    So its not just new astro buys that bring bad weather, i have a phantom 3 quad arrived and its windy as a windy thing, too risky to get first flight

  23. nightfisher

    Just to make things clear, even though i have a few doubts about getting the 120ED, its a superb scope and i have NO plans to find it a new home, maybe i need to get more interested in deep sky observing to get more from this scope, rather than having it as just Luna :happy11: 

  24. nightfisher

    There is a rather good vibe on here today, might have something to do with the date

  25. nightfisher

    Glad to be getting my mojo/interest back
