Who has got clear skies predicted for tonight ?

[ggreene1]

Forecast for Thursday night is clear. Now I'll check Moon phase to see if I'll photograph that or look at some DSOs... Finally.

Ha Ha yes, remind me to avoid any dark sites in Norfolk for the next few weeks!! Nice scope, do hope the sky clears for you.

Thank you, the BBC forecast for our area has changed and is showing *whispers* clear skies for Friday.

Friday is club nights with Norwich Astro; tomorrow is mid-week, almost there!

Thanks,

Chris

Thought we might get a chance of some clear spells tonight but alas its not to be sigh..

[steelyglint]

i dont ever think its gonna clear up but heres to british optimisum. and after eights are highly highly addictive ye ha..............

Looking at the weather for Friday for our Year 11's prom it says clear from around 4pm and very clear from around 11pm till 6 ish am. So hopefully I'll finish working doing the filming and photographing by 11, home and scope out for 11.30 to cool. May be a 2am session but it'll be SO worth it

Fingers crossed the Met Office are right LOL

The BBC weather page appears to have given up too. The summary for Friday here is showers, but the 3 hourly breakdown looks better.

Oh well, I might get an all nighter in. After going to see 'Battleship' a couple of weeks ago the clouds may be more entertaining anyway.

Hi, don't see a report for the south coast, so here goes Cloudy, Cloudy, Cloudy!

Friday night is still looking clear, fingers are now locked in the crossed position.

i'm guessing friday night is going to be clear all afternoon, into the evening right up to the point the sun touches the horizon and then the clouds will race in out of nowhere and park up for the night.

that pretty much describes every sunnyish day we've had in the last 4 weeks here :/

why is it whenever you cant get out you spend all day window shopping for more astro gear you wouldnt be able to use?

[Islander]

Nice and clear tonight although with the glow in the north it's mostly been planetary observation

[Quatermass]

Wind and rain in suffolk

Yes that's what they said for here when I looked yesterday, but I have woken up this morning, checked the forecast and they've changed it to cloud/sunny intervals

Saturday now looks completely sunny and then clear all night, but no doubt by this time tomorrow it'll be forecast as cloudy/sunny intervals again

[todd8137]

Been cloudy here for three weeks

[pajr777]

Not a bad forecast for Fri and Sat nights here... My last session was mid-April so I'm doing a little dance for the Cloud Gods..

Same, *sigh*. The weather is just awful in the UK isn't it.

Cheer up

We might get a double dose of clear sky as Fri/Sat night are forecast as clear. Wheather that actually happens is another thing....

[JamesF]

According to the weather forecast for here, the plan is for Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights to be clear. Get your beauty sleep in tonight chap(esse)s; it's going to be a tough weekend...

It seems like so long ago when I pointed my new scope at the sky, after unwrapping and setting it up for anhour or so before the clouds arrived.I'm not even sure what to start to look at! Will probably do venus/saturn - go for a couple of clusters, beehive, great cluster in hercules, double cluster if it hasn't already set, and m81 and 82, will try for M51 also and then who knows!! The sky is the limit!! That should take me through to 1:30 am

best get off to sleep then!!

[Naemeth]

Saturday looks great, mind you, until today, so did Friday.

[ggreene1]

Wow... Had the first clear night here in the Chicago area in forever and what a night it was. FINALLY got my 8" Celestron SCT out (Newbie) and got a fantastic view of Saturn. Could see cloud bands on the planet and even the Cassini division in the rings. I think a couple of moons too. I must have looked at it for a hour. (after finally getting clear enough skies to perfectly star collimate my scope... thanks to Bob's knobs) Fantastic. My first view of Saturn with this telescope (second in my lifetime) and boy was it a good one. Tested out a couple new Celestron Ultimax EPs (pretty good) Sorry I'm rambling on but it was pretty exciting. Chuffed I think you guys would say. (I think) Hope your skies clear soon...

Went to call the cat at about 10 last night and was amazed to see... STARS! It was pretty clear, some fast-moving cloud but seeing and transparency looked good...

But, of course, I hadn't cooled the scope and was already feeling way tired so just had a very quick look around...

Forecast for tonight: "

Tonight

Dry with long clear spells. The breeze will slowly ease"

But it is already looking less positive than it was. SWMBO has been away on business this week so I won't be surprised if it's cloudy tonight then clear on Saturday when she is back and I'll get ear ache for going out when I haven't seen her all week....

[Cjg]

Sunny morning with blue sky,the forecast for tonight is rubbish though.

[euphony]

Current forecast for this evening for Nottingham/Derby according to the BBC:

BBC Weatherman on breakfast: Cloudy by 7pm

BBC Teletext: Clear skies from 7pm

BBC Weather website: Sunny Intervals/clouds at 7pm

[x6gas]

BBc website now saying clear through to 4am; 7timer agrees, though predicts poor seeing and bad transparency. To be honest, I'll take anything other than wall-to-wall cloud at this point!
