Mansnake Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 Well tonight (as of 5 mins ago) I managed to get outside with my binoculars and see a couple of things. First of was Jupiter and I could just make out one moon as a little dot of light. Then onto to something I've always wanted to see...the pleiades! .I've been waiting so long to see it with my own eyes.Its been the perfect end to an otherwise Rubbish week.Clear skies !

Double Kick Drum Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 It's been slim pickings down here in the South East of the country.Glad you managed to get out to see something. The Pleiades are a fine sight during the Autumn / Winter, especially with bins.Clear skies! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikey32shaw Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 Tonight is exactly the kind of night I wasn't binoculars for. Cloudy all night until I came to bed to lock up, looked outside clear as a bell. Getting the scope out then was out of the question but to have a pair of binoculars would have done me or a quick ten minutes while the kettle boiled :-(Sent from my iPad sat in the Kitchen using Tapatalk wishing it was clear!!!
