Bad Seeing Last Night

[Alkaid]

Short report, very bad seeing here last night in Yorkshire. Moon only allowed x96 power, anything above that and image totally unstable.

Jupiter was a shimmering, boiling disk.

All this after letting scope cool for two hours

Major drag when that happens ain't it?

Yep, now awaiting some steady cold nights

What Sky ?

over here in Lancashire we had 100% blanket cloud (again) from about 9.00pm onwards...

Bad luck there Yorkshire, OK down in East Devon, but clouded out by 9:30PM, just as I was getting on to Jupiter. Excellent planetary nebulae before that however, and a stunning M13. Better luck tonight perhaps.

I took the Dob to a mates house last night and showed a few buddies Jupiter, the Moon, M45 and NGC869/884. Not the best seeing I've seen but good enough to get some jaws dropping Jupiter was great in fleeting moments of good seeing with loads of detail showing by about midnight.

Sounds good Paul, it's great when your mates have a look at Jupiter for the first time. Lots of 'Wow!!'

3 days of solid rain here what a great excuse to rip the EQ6 down for a rebuild.
