Clear skies tonight?

[inksmithy]

Right then, I completed a trade of my Celestron 127SLT GoTo with a fellow forumite, Patrick1948, and a pleasure it was to deal with such a gentleman!

Anyway, instead of my 127SLT I now have a lovely big SkyWatcher 250px Dobsonian.

I've just familiarised myself with the collimation process and sorted myself out with the Telrad and so on, now I really want tonight to stay clear so I can have a good look around tonight.

Here's hoping!

When you get to the dark time which is very little in the north...you may have gaps

Yeah, my Astropanel is showing a bit of clear sky - I really hope I can get out.

With a waxing moon, I don't think it is going to get dark at all tonight...

With a waxing moon, I don't think it is going to get dark at all tonight...

That's the dilemma. If it's not clear then you've moon and sky glow to contend with

Thunderstorm, 100% cloud cover - right now i'd settle for some moonshine (hic) and skyglow!
