Cloud, cloud, and more cloud

[x6gas]

I really wish that I'd taken the trouble to check Sat24 before setting up tonight!

BBC weather reckoned I was gonna get a good few clear hours so I set up at dusk and it was fairly clear, but the cloud came in and now it's wall-to-wall...

Grrrrr!

Been clear all day here I get home from work and the clouds have rolled in

[Phil Fargaze]

That drives me nuts! A lovely clear day from here as well and I have been thinking about what to view tonight. Night time arrives and the clouds roll in!

I'd not describe today as "clear", but there wasn't anywhere near as much cloud as there has been. Sunset coincided almost perfectly with thick cloud rolling in though, and it now appears set to remain that way, night and day, for the remainder of the five day forecast

Did you sell it to someone in South Oxfordshire? - Would explain the onset of my cloud!

Lol Nope, a smashing chap from Cornwall.

I will be hacked off this week if its incredible clear skies (sorry folks - hope its nice for you but i think you follow my drift). Knowing my luck that's what we'll get now I have no mount for a wee while. Naturally, as soon as I get the HEQ6 it'll be cloudy for three months..... !!!!

Well that explains everything. I bet the new owner picked it up, right? They've obviously been driving all around the country back to Cornwall calling in the cloud behind them!

Had a lovely sunny day here, so much so that I spent some time mowing the lawns and clearing up in the garden.

Went in to have my dinner and thought about what I was going to view to-night, you've guessed it, clouds wall to wall.

As the buyer of that mount I can confirm Cornwall is cloudy. Hope you had a good trip back up to your clear skies. Enjoy your neq6 when you get it. Post some pics up of it. :-)

Just checked the weather and cloud here all week (sad face) Sat night was good though right up until the secondary mirror was covered in dew. Never the primary which is odd. Will have to invest in a battery powered hair dryer!
