Pappy Nick Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 Sorry to tell you people, we've had clear sky here in Bristol. I managed to get a quick half hour in <smug grin><\smug grin> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mak One Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 Meteoblue has been showing the best ever seeing conditions all day, for the next 3 days and nights . Before I got too excited, I checked with Met Office, who forecast cloud and mist. Sun broke through over Bristol about 3pm, just as MO said. Driving home, the closer I got to the Mendips the gloomier it got. By 7pm it was a pea-soup! Meteoblues!I did manage to get out last night and try some quick and dirty widefield in a (relatively) dark spot, so I was going to give it another bash from an even darker spot. Fat chance.As I'll still be at work until the middle of the evening tomorrow I'm sure it will be as clear as a bell then...Arrrghhhh!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sologuitarist61 Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 Really foggy this morning in West Cornwall, then warm and sunny all afternoon then thick fog again as the sun went down. You really feel that the elements are against you, especially when you lug the mount out and get it set up in the daylight only to find the fog has come down when you want to go out and play!!

calibos Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 Fog at Heathrow this morning delaying her Dublin flight meant my Mother missed her 11am connecting flight to Kuala Lumper on her way to Perth in Oz. Stuck in LHR till 10pm as they rebooked her LHR to Singapore and then onto Perth. She was not a happy camper on the phone. We've no idea where her luggage is. Someone told me they often send luggage on the previous flight, so her luggage could be sitting in Kuala Lumpar. She's not even going there now As for the Fog. Same here in Ireland. With the High pushing the Jetstream to the far north I knew the seeing would be good for the Jupiter Venus conjunction. I just thought that a high at this time of year meant clear skies too. Looks like the group observing seesion for the conjunction will probably be called off. If its not one thing its another.

JamesF Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 We had thick fog this morning, but the sun made it through late this afternoon before the fog rolled in again as the sun set. When I went out to put the chickens to bed visibility was about ten metres.James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A mixture of Buff Orptinton, Cream Legbar, various Maran breeds, Leghorns and some odd crosses (we do get white, cream, blue, green and brown eggs now though What breed are you looking at for meat?We also have bees and every so often pigs and lambs. Took the pigs to slaughter a couple of weeks ago.
