nederman63 Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 What a great sight, it was orange/red? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steep Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 If only I could see it web weather sites say "clear skies here" outside I see 100% cloud cover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnakeyJ Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 It was a beautiful orange when it rose here and for the first time in at least a fortnight the clouds held off while the scope went out and cooled - viewing was not great, but I could just make out arcturis for a one star align and also saw Jupiter very briefly. Managed to shoot some 12000 frames on the moon for a full moon mosaic - but mostly as a test of my recently serviced mount, mods to the focuser and webcam with filter wheel.Nice to get out, chilly but managed two hours after everything cooled down - the Met is promising some breaks for me on Saturday and Sunday nights so may get to have a more serious session then, with the benefit of the bank holidays to lay in - if the kids play ball!Longer term forecast not looking so bright at present, but I figure we are certainly due some good breaks in the not too distant - here's hoping anyway....

SnakeyJ Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 It was a fantastic bright and sunny morning too - wish I'd left the scope out and got up for Saturn! Some very thin cloud/haze but a beautiful sight nevertheless! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leelee970 Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 I admit it was fantastic to see the moon last night - shame I had a busy day at work so wasn't in the mood to go out. GRRRRR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 I saw it briefly through a gap in the clouds too. Looked lovely, very orange and appeared large because it was low down. Haven't seen it for a long time!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyWB Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 I saw it on my drive home - or rather the bottom half of it. Orange, and with rays of light down through the cloud. It looked like the mothership coming in to land. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
