I'm back, but suffering S*** law

[trudie]

Well having not got the scope out for over 6 weeks, as I've been too busy cuddling the new babe, last night after an evening of babysitting I came home to a very clear sky. It was pretty late but Jupiter was irresistible so I set up to image, which was no mean feat as I think the memory is playing up and I couldn't remember settings etc: It took me about 2 hours, then just as I was ready to press capture on the lappy a huge bank of cloud covered the sky. Oh the frustration of this hobby !!!!! Definitely what you call S*** LAW.

All the best

I thought that always happened, these things are camera shy and will hide at the least hint of Papparazzi. Welcome back Trudie.

Trudie, I feel embarrassed to ask, Cos. I don't remember reading a post about the child.

Was it your baby,? was it a boy or girl,? and in either case, many congratulations, and a warm welcome back.

And whatever the weather, you have sunshine now for sure.

Ron.

Whoops!. That will teach me to pay more attention. Still, I think the little chap is going to be spoiled by his Grandma.

Jupiter can wait a while Trudie, the big fellow need to get a bit higher in our skies anyway.

Best wishes to the family.

I know how you felt Trudie. Some happens to me very often Couple of days I went to Dartmoor t :lol:o take picture of Jupiter. Metoffice forcasted clear sky for 00:00 till 02:00. When I got there it was completely cloudy but I still could see Jupiter behind clouds. I set everything up just like you did, started my laptop with Vista and waited. I closed the lid on my laptop just to save some power. Suddenly Jupiter appeared so I opened the lid but Vista failed to start and by the time I was restarting computer Jupiter was obstructed by clouds. I was not very happy either but I kept waiting for another hour and managed to take one just before my battery discharged

Good to see you back Trudie Congrats on your new Grandson.

I can't believe this weather. Have worked 13 (very long) days on the trot and was hoping to do some relaxing stargazing this weekend.

No Chance
