This is why it's so important to take advantage of the good weather as you never know when the next drought period will begin!

Glad you got some observing under your belt as it does make a difference, especially after reading recently that one or two members have thought of giving up.

Yes good point James, I hope sopme of those considering giving up took advantage of the recent good spell and it made them have a rethink ..

Yeah, after all that moaning about cloud, I'm now praying for it to come back so I can have a break:o (not really).

It's good to have a moan ...... on the third clear night I heard myself say oh no, another late night observing beckoned. It's also been the easter holidays and the kids didn't seem to appreciate i'd been up till about 3 in the morning. But it has been a good reminder of all the great sights up there. Roll on the next session.......

i managed to get a couple of nights in and bagged myself m51 for the first time. Booked the week off work this week so i could have a couple of late ones and as always, the cloud returns

[bomberbaz]

Going to a dark site tonight with travel scope if conditions are ok. Just want to try for m51 and m97 but really not sure if my scope has enough aperture to resolve either. Only one way to find out though eh.

I only managed to get out one night, typical busy when clear, free when cloudy

[Double Kick Drum]

Only had two mid-week nights myself. I feel a bit left out and still feel the need to get out there.

It has been a mad week for observing and you do have to take advantage of the good nights. I got so much done on Saturday night I was looking at things I wasn't expecting to see again until Late Summer/Autumn.

As bad as it sounds I was almost relieved I couldn't go out last night...but had it been clear I would've been out there. There is no telling in our weather when you might get another night.

I bagged a shed-load in just two sessions. Last Saturday was not that good, after a magnificent clear day, the clouds rolled in as soon as it turned dark. Still, April has been productive to date.
