Good Grief!

After the first clear skies for what seems an eternity I set my scope up at 20:30h expecting to have an hour or so with the moon, what happens?

A bloomin' huge black cloud descends over Penzance

Oh well:rolleyes:

[Starlight 1]

So my new hi power leaf blower work then it was over here 20 mins ago.

Yea I thought I'd see what I could get out of Venus, same happened.

On the plus side the Moon does look stunning through a set of 10 x 50 bins with the wisps of thin cloud moving across it.

Arrrgh, first light with HEQ5pro,align with clouds !

Now in the third week of Middle Earth clouds.

Beautifully clear here and I shall be outdoors shortly. My goal for tonight was to get some comparisons done of the SPC900 and Lifecam Cinema for planetary imaging and I was worried that on the first clear night for centuries the moon was going to wash them both out, but it looks like I might just have got away with it...

any ideas on how to convince my wife that a move to a climate more conducive to astronomy is in order?

[Gary70]

Tried it mate, they just get homesick and drag you back here
