Ordering clear skies?

[Spec-Chum]

Anyone know where I can order some clear skies with free delivery to Doncaster? They're all out of stock here!

I WANT TO USE MY NEW SCOPE!!!

Had it since Tuesday and it's not been outside yet lol

[NickW]

Well I tried Amazon on Monday and they don't deliver to Cambridge so I guess Doncaster is out of their area too.

In the same situation too... brand new scope waiting in my lounge for some action ;-(

[Foggymike]

Tonight not looking at all promising either. Maybe it's natures way of getting us to wait for winter dark skies....

[Lenny147]

The same here, new scope for 2 weeks and no joy with the weather

[Marki]

Got a TAL125r here waiting for first light as well - so frustrated! Still, bbc weather forecast seems to hint that there may be some potental late monday early tuesday and again late tuesday. And we all know how reliable the bbc forecast is... .

Monday is looking promising though

I went to a nighshop and asked for a clear night.. The face of the shopkeeper was priceless :-)

Same here in North Germany.

There are currently 1,889 items available on eBay (clear skies) so it would seem as if they are available...

Or have I missed something here?? ;-)

You can order a clear sky from your local travel agents. Ask for it by its African name, sa hara.

[NickW]

Odd... just looked out the window and thought I saw something blue.... any ideas people?

Same problem for me my C8 is just waiting for a clear sky. Im i the only one wishing it was winter just for the clear nights haha.

[LukeSkywatcher]

I'd be happy just for the rain to stop.

I prefer the infrared, since it still shows the clouds at night, which the visible light images can't.

I think this may have something to do with the dovetail bar I ordered, purchased the losmandy instead of the vixen by accident. I'm sure the clouds are merely waiting until I have the correct dovetail bar delivered, which should be some time next week with any luck.

I'm sure there should have been clear nights yesterday and today, as I am waiting for delivery of my NexStar 4SE.. That is due on Monday so I'm guessing no clear skies for at least a week for me. I asked the same question in my 'welcome' post on Thursday, I don't think anyone found a supplier who could guarantee delivery though.

When I got my first scope it arrived at the same time as a week of clear night skies.. fantastic

However now is just terrible... All I want to do is get long enough to see if I collimated the scope correctly (actually I lie, I want 4 or 5 hours or glorious clear dark skies so I can get out and use it but I not going to say that). Please can I have 20 minutes of clear dark skies??

[Scott]

sorry, little confused here . I thought this was stargazing.

Stargazing (verb)

the act of searching internet forums and comunicating with like minded people (often referred to as stargazers or amatuer astronomers) about the universe and the various instruements used to observe said universe.

now you tell me I can actually do the observing?

I'm so confused.....

Forecast for tomorrow in donny from 9pm onwards...

Mostly clear!

Getting excited!

[CFC]

It's just teasing...no clear skies for you!

[Spec-Chum]

Noooooo!

[euphony]

I have been waiting for the clear skies I ordered for over a month now. It appears that they are going to be delivered when I go on holiday to Spain tomorrow.

Where I will not have access to my telescope!

[MattS]

I just watched some clear skies, available any time, anywhere! http://www.clearskiesthemovie.com/

I used to play Eve Online, the space shots are from there, this is a well known film in the Eve community.

I tried to order some clear skies through Google. I got a 404 message instead.
