[kirkster501]

Not been any good since last Tuesday except for a few glimpses through clouds on Saturday night... And looks like gonna be rubbish until next week as well

Doh....... I want to get out there and get learning !!!!! Man, its so frustrating, I am looking for the dog to kick....

[crashtestdummy]

From what ive seen its going to be rubbish into next year!!

[Digz]

I'm not looking forward to the amount of rain we can expect tomorrow, especially after the recent downpours!

Been naff weather all month, really. I've had one night outside in three weeks

It's probably all my fault. I have new toys.

Snap!! I guarentee when im back on the rig for 2 weeks it will be clear lol!!

The weather is really rustling my jimmes right now.

I havent had a real clear night for over two weeks now.

I had two really short bino sessions but I could only just make out the most bright objects between the clouds and the haze.

Next week isn't looking any better but I'm stowing my binos for when I fly down to Gothenburg for Christmas as 23rd might have some gaps in the clouds.

...and here I was thinking "those Swedes have it lucky, all cold and clear.." So not like that Carl ? Surely can't be as bad as UK?

I don't have access to weather data history, but I see posters here from the UK who have been far far luckier than I have

Usually we don't get so much cold before christmas, and this time the cold also brough misty haze the last nights that seemed promising.

So to make a long story short, I don't think Sweden is "infamous" for it's weather the same way the UK is, but this season we're both shafted.

we had cold clear the last few weeks up here [ but its now back to cloudy.patchy with rain] so everytime the sky clears i'm out [even for 20 minutes ] as a wee cheeky peekie is better than nowt

The sky is cloudless here, but there is a blanket of fog. I can see some bright stars but the fog is too thick to do any proper observation. I think I would rather have a cloudy sky than get tease with this semi opaque sky.

Hopefully the weather will improve

Me too, but what else is there to do than buy nice new bits and pieces? I have a nice new ADM dual bar and puck to play with.

I wasn't intending to buy anything, but then this 13mm Nagler popped up in the classifieds. And I was only saying a couple of weeks ago that I'd never pay over the odds for a 12.5mm BGO as I'd rather put the money towards a second-hand Nagler...

Pretty much the same here in Norway. Overcast, raining, snowing sleeting for about a week. But I did get a five-minute glimpse at the moon about an hour and a half ago through a small break in the clouds. Now it's all gone overcast again :-(

It's been raining or generally cloudy here for the last 2 weeks. i had about 2 nights where I could go out very early before the cloud rolled in, but it was basically one hour max (20 minutes last time!). I am desperate to test my new settings on my CCD camera, so it's uber-frustrating!

The forecast up until the new year looks Rubbish too

The only night it might be clear for a bit according to some reports is the 27th, when I have a night out planned with people I haven't seen since last christmas! So it's not as if I can cancel that.

I remember being frustrated over the summer months, but that appears to be when I did most my viewing from memory. I've hardly seen anything since October.

I really want to have a go at the Leo triplet ad get up early for it. And the Rosette nebula. Doh...!!!! And when it *does* eventually clear the moon will be out
