Well that's caught me out

[JamesF]

Forecast this evening was for cloud early on and then fog, but I just went outside having finish dinner and the sky is clear, so I've quickly put the Mak out and hopefully I'll be able to get at least a shot of the Moon and then see what else is on the cards for this evening.

Good luck, hope the skies stay clear for you!

Nice surprise . . .

Opposite here I'm afraid , clear an hour ago and a thin hazy veil now . . .

I know - clear skies for a bit at least - managed to take some (much improved) pictures. Unfortunately two things have happened - my camera battery died (couldn't find the charger for about a week!) and I can't find the CF card reader .

Same here in Norwich, but the haze is quite thin, just had first light on my new 10x50's thou .........seen the moons of Jupiter, Pleiades, Orion Nebula and Crescent Moon, Very nice.

Forecast here was for 24 hour clear sky. That is not what we have! oh well, just looked at forecast and now it says cloud till midnight, then clear until midday so will set the alarm for 3 and see whats happening

It's just thick enough here to be annoying . . . neither one thing nor the other really. . .

Still it's let me lounge around and cross the 2000 post mark unnoticed . . .

Cloudy here too......was really hoping to get out and finish setting up the mount on the pier.......

[JamesF]

Well, BBC (big band of cloud) has stopped play now, so I'm just finishing off some darks that I forgot to do two weeks ago and I'll be bringing everything in. Can't complain though, especially as there are hints at "some" clear sky for the next three nights. Perhaps enough to get a sequence of Moon shots even if there's insufficient for some decent eyepiece time...

Nice and dark here apart from next doors lights guess it will be a late one if the clouds stay away.........

I'm not far away from you, Steve....finger's crossed for tomorrow evening, though. I got set up for first light of the EQ6 pro...All done and just aligning and then.....you know what....

[Steve Ward]

Hi Dave ,

Nice new toy there , hope you get to play properly very soon , looks OK later on tomorrow night . . .

[davesparx]

Hi there, Steve.

This is the first step towards trying to get the imaging remotely so that I can sit in the conservatory after I've aligned and set up. The NEQ is fantastic! I wish I'd got one years ago.

Good luck for us all, this evening! (Sunday)
