[sologuitarist61]

Not looking too bad down here today, broken cloud (sorry, it wasn't me - I didn't touch it!). Will wait and see what it is like around midnight i think. At least the evenings are drawing in quite quickly.

Southern Ireland skies are beginning to look clear and the forecast says that Friday night the precipitation chance and the cloud cover will be pretty low, Saturday will be similar.

Maybe it's gonna be kinda good in the UK as well

Wish you clear skies

[stargazer1960]

Lets hope it gets clear here then but im not holding my breath

Looking at the cloudy sky, I'd say it's less about 'counting chickens before they hatch', and more about waiting for dinosaurs to evolve into chickens, and humans to invent mathematics to count them with...

Not looking to great here either, although I think if I set the NEQ6 up it would start to sink fast in the soggy ground!!!

Sat24 suggests that there's a lovely clear patch out in the Atlantic to the west of Ireland, but it doesn't really look like it's going to make it very far this way in a hurry.

I've noticed that too. Amazing just how quickly the darkness starts to get longer.

Hi,

By a strange coincidence I have been in Birmingham all day for work, out on the roadside. We had no rain, lucky eh, and now I am back there are clear spells here in Newcastle. Pity that I am so tired I couldn't even prise the lens cover off my scope, never mind lug it all out on to my observing platform, sorry concrete block under the decking.

Hope someone makes some use of the gaps in the cloud.

[Astro-Nova]

Im not putting my hopes up, Sunday seems to be the best nearest day for me with clear skies

[Cath]

I thought that was just the cloud.

lol, well yes their is that, especially after just taking a peek at sat24, we have nooooo hope tonight (or tomorrow), their is an enormous amount of cloud on it's way.

[Psychobilly]

wall to wall cloud here

[skywatcher250]

so so cloudy !

[Paulus17]

Still raining here this morning

[DrRobin]

Hi,

Clear skies here, about 10% cloud, first sunny morning for a long while.

[JamesF]

We had thick cloud all night regardless of the forecast. This morning the sun is making an effort to shine, but there's a lot of broken cloud to the south and to the north towards Wales it's looking very dark and forbidding.

Blue skies peeping through at last,or are they blue clouds
