[E621Keith]

I hope this big blue thing will turn into a big black thing.

[JamesF]

I'm not believing anything until it happens. The forecast for this evening has changed from clear to cloudy and back more than once already today.

[Black Knight]

I'm hoping for the best too

[notaclue]

I will be my pessamistic self and hex the entire thing.

[sunshine185]

Been nice in Oldham all day, now, as per usual, its clouded over

Just like Lincoln, getting cloudier by the minute.

[Moonshane]

I heard a forecast that in the NW it will get cloudier for an hour around now and then clear off to mostly clear. it's getting better in south Manc now (although I confess it's the 6" not the 16" that's outside cooling). hoping for a last glimpse of Saturn before it disappears for the year, and maybe a few doubles around Bootes and the summer constellations.

[Moonshane]

oh, and maybe

[sallystar]

I'm getting optimistic here in London too. Yippee! Long may the clear sky last!

[Catanonia]

Scope is all re-colimated and now cooling down in the observatory with the fans.

Fingers crossed, but started to cloud over in Sandbach Cheshire now. Sat 24 shows may get some clear spells tonight, but doubt be good enough for imaging.

[Seafury]

Yeah right !!more big black things arriving by the second lol

gordon

[Dunkster]

The big ugly clouds have shifted only to reveal high cloud here

[skywatcher250]

u had to speak haha

total cloud cover here ! swept in an hour ago sadly

[Hawkeye]

not tempting fate yet, so the scope will NOT be out out to cool just yet (but the back door is open)...... But fingers are crossed as it is looking really good here atm

[Gladders1980]

Been cloudy and raining all day here today, but forecast has been clear skies from 22:00, just looked out the window and its clear skies, for how long is the question?

[JamesF]

Well there's still a lot of cloud here, probably more than makes any decent observing possibly yet, but I have just been outside to check and saw Mars, Saturn and Spica. That's three more night-sky objects than I've seen in the whole of the last four weeks.

[Monty]

Well that was a far better evening then I expected, managed to get a few messiers done and a couple of NGCs. Odd patch of cloud passed over so switched to ISS and Satelite spotting until sky cleared again. Oh and one meteorite.

Happy now and off to bed.

[Black Knight]

One sad panda here . We've been mostly clouded out, so an evening with the bins for me.

[JamesF]

Much the same here. There was too much cloud, particularly to the south and east, to have a worthwhile evening so I decided to leave it.

Ha every day it's been sunny rather than raininng over the last two or three weeks it's been cloudy at dusk and beyond....I've given up all hope

Sunny and clear all day then cloudy at night .... That would be maddeningly infuriating - unless you had a solar scope of course!

[Hawkeye]

Well its been nice a clear here so I managed to bag my target for tonight.... M13 Stunning

Lets see what tomorrow brings

[Darkstar_1]
