Clear skies across the North West all week.....

[GazOC]

From tomorrow night until the end of the week!!! (according to the Met Office! )

Still, heres hoping!

[OXO]

Yeah i Noticed that Gaz still rubbing my eye's in dis belief :shock:

If its right i will be doing some observing with a Pair of Binos and maybe some widefield images with the Toucam. The beehive gets pretty high in the early hours with Saturn close by this makes for a wonderfull scene as does my Fav Orion. One thing to watch for is Meteors..

James

[GazOC]

Theres a hell of a lot of green meteors this year!!

[OXO]

Your not wrong there matey i have observed my fair share aswell, the fireball a couple of months back was just amazing and since then there have been many reports of these Space fireworks :shock:.

It's a good time for Binos and a thermos Flask

They always get it right when they say its going to be cloudy. When they predict clear skies is another matter...

It actually got better later on, about 11pm was nice again, but I could see more clouds rolling in.

Took a look at Orion and the nebula before packing up.

Mars is my target for tonight - I really want to get a better image of this before he fades. I shall be using the A.S. Vixen refractor tonight as I have an airport pickup to do.

[Ant]

of course it's blumming clear - it's full moon.

[GazOC]

I've just looked and the Met Office have "cancelled" Saturday night already. Still clear until then though!!

[OXO]

Mmmmmm lets hope it's just SAT Night matey..

[GazOC]

I've just set up, it's going to be blumming cold tonight!!!

Could be one of those '30mins out, 15 mins in' jobbies!

[OXO]

It is very cold here aswell Gaz, there's a slight wind coming from the sea blowing my way(Shivers) but it is really clear at the moment just hope it holds up because last night it was full of very high clouds... Gonna be chillie sitting down with my binos but well worth it

James

PS:Good luck

[GazOC]

PS:Good luck

And you mate!

Those high clouds were the reason I didn't bother sorting out the EQ6 last night, I didn't think I was missing much!

[daz]

Going to set up and then do some conservatory work. Got to get this damn thing done!!!

[GazOC]

Will it have a roll-on/roll off roof Daz?

[daz]

If I don't hurry up, it'll have no blumming roof!!!!
