watch them form BOO HISS

mind you they are going east, it it carries on there is a possibility.

[Capricorn]

Can't come East, we already have a full batch in residence.

They will just have to head back to you, or queue up and take their turn.

[Hypernova]

Not too bad

The skies are clear here ATM so I am hopeful about getting the dob out for a little while tonight despite the impending full moon, I need to get my astro fix as I have been lazy as of late about observing, work, tiredness and getting up at 6:30 and all that!!!

I have a dew zapper but the fellow who invents a local cloud zapper will be a very rich man indeed!

There is the most amazing clear sky up here right now. I can see Sirius glinting away out the window (tempting me) and it was a murky old pea souper of a day until about 18:00. I think it might turn out to be worth a shot after all I'm off to put the gear out to cool down

Don't need to rub it in

Still enjoy your clear skies.

It's clear as far as the weather reports are concerned but it's actually a thin vale of mist here.

I put in a good shift throughout last week even in less than good conditions. Full-nighters too.

Not happening tonight unless the mist jogs on.

[Hypernova]

Spoke too soon, the high level murk arrived and spoiled any hopes so I'm off to bed and marking this one down as a no show on my cloudy weather chart, oh well

[Andy79]

Astronomers have to be very patient dont they with this weather..what annoys me is you could have a bright sunny day with not a cloud in the sky yet come night time!

Well if it makes you all feel better.. my long serving MacBook Pro (Nov 2007 vintage) died on monday

Without that I don't have a laptop to go imaging :/ Good news is that my old contract want me to return for a month - so if I can get a permy job after I'll have the cash to replace it with a nice new i7 quad core, 8GB MacBook Pro ... ooo the shiney shiney

I had to get a new lappy after I let my old vista powered slug fall off a chair and crack it's screen, I was without SGL for two whole nights it was torture!!!

Ended up getting a new Acer from Currys, took ages to buy it (2hrs) and get finance all sorted and got it home to discover that it had a mono speaker!!! Still I am mostly happy with it and windows seven is mucho faster than Vista ever was.

Yep, sound familiar, did the same thing back in January and dropped the laptop on my flags while packing up one night, killed it stone dead. Ended up having to get a new one, it was torture without it.
