Anywhere clear tonight?

[Tom2012]

Afternoon everyone!

Looks like its going to be cloudy near me! what about anywhere else?

It would've been to good to be true to have 3 nights in a row of clear skies! Haha

[starnut]

Looks like it's going to be very cold tonight it's -0.6c now

[The Sailor]

Cold with broken cloud here

Jim

[Tom2012]

We've got 3 degrees here with a chance of -1.

Not too worry! There's always a next time... This year I hope! Haha

Forecast was for clear sky here, but yet again practice fails to accord with theory...

There seems to be a strange stationary finger of cloud running down from Iceland to north Scotland, over Wales and Ireland and then down into Portugal that is preventing clear sky over the Atlantic from travelling our way.

Looking clear here was a few clouds before and there's a few wispy ones hanging about but ive put scope out to cool crossing fingers and getting layers on.

[Grotemobile]

to bad, its the wind.

Sort of clear here...some wisps of cloud and occasional haze. Moon very bright. Jupiter very cool. Air getting cold so came inside for more layers and a cuppa Going to go back outside as soon as Orion is up.

[wookie1965]

Got cloud now well got 30 mins with scope Jupiter was well worth it again and the moon looks brilliant cant see much of Hyades as the moon washing most of it out.

Was clear-ish here a couple of hours ago, but have just walked the dogs and the cloud is rolling in again - strangely the temperature is still dropping though and down to 2.8C here. I believe they are forecasting rain by morning down here (yet again)

[Charon]

Thick cloud and blowing a full gale over here.

[Stu]

Lovely and clear here, some little bits of cloud but very nice transparency and seeing between. Jupiter looking great.

Cold though, scope covered in frost by the time I came in

It turned out clear here, too, just not at the time the forecast said it would. Just got in after a couple of hours imaging, kit also covered in frost. I was very surprised at how still the air was. I saw one aircraft fly over to the north leaving a contrail and more than five minutes later another flew over perfectly over the top of the first contrail. Not at all impressed with how they mucked up the air stability when they passed in front of Jupiter though...

Anyhow, I have a load of imaging data in the bag. Just warming up a little before calling it a night. I'd like to stay out longer but I was supposed to be finishing some work for 9am tomorrow. No chance of that happening when there's a clear sky. I'll have to catch up with it before work starts tomorrow morning now

Clear and rather spectacular night here in Spain. Jupiter was a sharp at 200x. That's two nights in a row, but it looks like clouds are forecast until Saturday night.

Sounds like you had a half decent night mate! Are you going to upload your images? I love seeing others images, especially Jupiter. Because I've seen it too I like to think I can relate to what people are talking about! Haha

Was completely cloudy here. Got 'scope out just invade and left it for a few hours but clouds just got progressively worse!

[JamesF]

If work is fairly quiet I'll try to get some processing done. Still haven't finished all of them from the Ganymede transit and I know I have some of the Europa transit from last night. I do have a lunar image processed which I'll post shortly.

James

[The Sailor]

All clear here for the moment, cold but not a problem, winter overwear at the ready for after evening meal, equipment fired up and sitting ready to rock n roll

Jim

[JamesF]

Been solid cloud here most of the day. Just enough sun to melt the frost and that was our lot

Might be just as well though. I'm a bit behind with my processing...

James

[Matt Scunthorpe]

Well its clear tonight, but is already -1. Now trying to convince myself to get up and go outside lol.

[The Sailor]

Mainly clear here but very damp so a night in.

Jim

[JamesF]

Lots of broken cloud here. I almost had a major sense of humour failure when I nipped out to get a lunar image and the sky went completely dark for about half an hour, but I got there in the end.

James

[Matt Scunthorpe]

I got just over an hour out. I've never worn so many clothes lol, but it worked. Went out some old favorites, but saw M34 for the first time. Really getting annoyed with having limited sky to view because of the house etc.
