Tom2012 Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 Feels like I haven't been out for ages! Starting to miss it!!Has anyone been out within the last 2 weeks or so? Rain, rain, rain, clouds, rain, clouds, rain. That's all it seems to be here! HahEnjoy your day everyone.Tom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamesF Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 The 9th has been my only night outside so far this month. I think I've only managed two nights in the last four weeks. No sign of any improvement on the horizon until 26th at the earliest at the moment, if you trust the longer range weather forecasts...James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beulah Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 I've only been out observing twice since November....It's time some new reservoirs were created - it's a shame to see all this water drain away.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 twice in over six weeks and this is why i'm questioning if i can justify the purchase of an neq6. i'd love to use one but thats the point, i would want to use it and thats just not happeningEdit: I'm not counting the few times i've grabbed half an hour here and there with the heritage.Scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Double Kick Drum Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 Frustration to the max in this part of the world too.I have had just one session in nearly 10 weeks. A very dissappointing autumn.Lets hope the new year brings more luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redfox1971 Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 I'm sure when we get close to full moon we will have couple of clear nights,usually works that way,waste of time for dso. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 I got a short session in on Thurs when we had a power cut. If it wasn't for the power cut, I'd have missed it, it was supposed to be cloudy all night. The missus popped out to see how dark it looked with the local lights off, and could see some funny little white lights in the sky, and recalled that they are "stars".Hopefully we'll get some of those nice clear long winter nights soon.
