First light tonight... hopefully!

Now I know I've probably gone ahead and jinxed it by posting this, but I've been keeping a close eye on the weather for my area over the past few days and it seems as if there will be a good batch of clear sky tonight. Of course, the moon is up and super bright but hey... That's something to look at I suppose, I'm just happy to be getting out there to do some observing with my new scope!

Hopefully the weatherman is going to be right this time!

Whisper: My area is showing clear tonight as well, finger's crossed.

Indeed, it's been a long time coming! I was hoping to get back into the galaxies in Leo, but with the moon tonight, I think I'll be having a lunar and open cluster observing night tonight.

What are everyone's observing plans for this evening *if* the clouds clear?

I think I'll be going for the open clusters around Casseiopia, and thinking about formally starting the lunar 100.

Fingers crossed for those long-awaited clear skies

Considering how bright the moon is going to be, I think I'll leave it. TBH getting kinda fed up with the only clear nights we get being around the full moon.

I've got so desperate, i'll even view the Moon to get my fix, if necessary.
