Who has got clear skies predicted for tonight ?

[Moonshane]

the sky has cleared a bit here but unfortunately the wind has picked up.

[RikM]

Cloudy here but I have a packet of M&M's

[ianaiken]

Well shortly after my last post in this thread it chucked it down for a bit. Now the wind has picked up and not so many gaps in the cloud. Maybe OK for visual but imaging not a chance really, clouds moving too fast not sufficient gap between them. Maybe if I was doing 60 seconds subs it could work but I would have to be at the ready with tarpaulin. The clouds are also a lot thicker and look like they are full of ice just waiting to hurtle down so I'm not going to risk it.

Unless the clouds miraculously vaporize I would imaging anyone south of Sunderland will suffer the same fate.

Wall to wall cloud in Suffolk:( might have to take up Radio Astronomy:D

[Gary70]

Clear in Leeds,

Bit nippy though

[sologuitarist61]

Was cracking clear sky over edinburgh last night. Was cold and a wee bit blowy but us scots are used to that sort of thing

I got out for a wee while and bagged a dissapointing mars, stunning crescented venus showing colour and an excellent saturn with some planetary detail and 3 moons.

All from my little 127 mak.

Cheered me right up

Thats not a very nice thing to say to a type II diabetic. Unless you want rid of me.

LOL.

Still mostly cloudy here.

All gone anyway

[JamesF]

Well, the little patch of clear sky that was forecast for tonight has gone. Wall-to-wall cloud and rain for the entire holiday weekend. If this goes on much longer I'll have forgotten what the constellations look like.

Dont you just love the british weather, after a gruelling 2 days at work, i waited up till midnight on the chance of clear skies to do some lunar imaging, it cleared but the moon was low and hiding in some tree`s, decided to get some kip and maybe try some solar imaging this morning, still waiting for the sky to clear enough for this, not looking good

[Charon]

Lovely and clear over here, has been for the past fortnight.

[sanmatt]

I'm sure I can see a cloud shaped like a telescope out there. Just to wind me up!

[Moonshane]

I gave up. the wind was too strong here.

[ArmyAirForce]

The completely clear sky didn't arrive until just after I packed up last night. Venus is just a thin crescent now as it approaches its transit of the sun next month. Mars is looking very small now two months on from opposition, but Saturn was spectacular as always, with five of its moons visible. It's meant to be clear again here tonight, so who knows! Only two more sessions needed this month to beat my April observing total! Boy was it cold last night. I tried the webcam briefly on Saturn, Venus and Mars, but the Moon was hidden behind the house roof, so didn't get a chance to catch that.

Weather forecast gives S.Wales another 5 nights of cloud

Still waiting to use my new DSLR

[nightfisher]

Wahoo, i have just had my first look at the solar disk with my Tal in white light

[ArmyAirForce]

I was just about to go out and do the Spring service on the Weapns Carrier when a rather large attack of hail stones changed my mind. What's going on with the weather, this is May. To be fair, it's probably my own fault for buying some Baader Solarfilm last week.

[Dazzyd]

Well blue skies keep peeking through the cloud here today but only for a moment. Met office app is saying clear skies from around 10 ish tonight for 2-3 hours, whether that will happen though is anyone's guess! Since finally getting round to buying a scope last weekend I haven't disliked the weather more than I do now LOL

[Spoon]

its supposed to be clear in Coventry tonight. good timing for birthday eh?!

[sanmatt]

It's windy here so good for the washing and hopefully will chase the clouds away!

[Naemeth]

Clear Skies predicted last night for this night has just gone to cloudy skies all night .

[sanmatt]

How do you read that app thingy you have there in your sig?

eta - not to worry, I just found it online. Looking roapey here now

[Naemeth]

Tomorrow Night looks hopeful on Meteoblue, fingers crossed .

[sanmatt]

What I donot get is that it shows a clear night but the astro seeing icon is showing it as being dreadful? What am I not understanding here?

[Naemeth]

It shows the cloud is nil pretty much, but something is stopping it being good astro seeing (that signature isn't using data from Meteoblue though), I check all the forecasts, and just hope for one with clear skies .
