That sky looks promising :)

[Paul M]

The sky here is cloudless and quite clear.

The sun has just set and from the colour of the early twilight around the horizon it's not perfect but still promising!

So Ye Olde Fullerscope is already set up on the decking in anticipation.

Sadly it's our back garden decking awash with light pollution and not our caravan decking under dark Cumbrishire skies...

Clear here to but i got to get up at 4:30am gutted but ive been out the last two nights so i cant complain.

Mine looks clear too but I suspect it isn't, As the sun set there was this nasty, very subtle but definitely present high cloud across the entire sky. I am hoping the lower temperature has dispersed it and I'll pop out in about 25 minutes to check. fingers crossed!

I'm ok, not in work until Friday! I can be a very naughty boy indeed

I have the same feeling here. I think it's actually water vapour (high humidity) that's making it slightly milky.

Just got my Dob out under perfect blue skies for a cool down ready for a good evenings viewing, only to drag it back in again just now as it's now almost total cloud cover. Tests yer patience this astronomy business doesn't it! I just like carrying it (the scope) up and down the stairs.

It's good up here too, just set the scope up, I'm chomping at

the bit, had a good two hours last night before the cloud rolled

in, it looks good for longer tonight, fingers crossed.

[Paul M]

The scopes only been out there an hour and it's dripping with dew

I think I might have been too optimistic!

[SnakeyJ]

Thick fog down at my end of the country - viz 40-50m top! Forecast looks better for tomorrow and poss Thursday night - weekend is looks set to be a wash out. Pity the poor revellers travelling down for the Bestival!

Only one thing more certain to generate rain than a new scope and that's a music festival

[Paul M]

Oh well, that's another one clouded out!

Only just got the scope focused hoping the scattered clouds would drift by. The didn't. They just spread out and joined together.

[wookie1965]

Got mine out managed get ring nebula moved over to M13 a few clouds thought let them pass gave it 30 mins had a coffee went back out blanket of cloud so packed up come in.

[SnakeyJ]

Fog slowly lifting this morning - but great to see how hard our spiders have been working!

Quick snap from my phone cam - with a glimpse of the new obsy site/base in the background.

[Paul M]

My scope is still out on the decking in is storage case. I best open it up to let the water out!

[Stargazer_00]

Wasn't too bad in the end. The zenith was clear enough to view at for an hour or so until I went in. the light pollution band was higher than normal so it was definitely mist or vapur in the air. clouded over around 10:30pm.

[Beulah]

Skies have been truly marvelous here. Clear skies virtually every day for the last three weeks! Never known anything like it!

[Stargazer_00]

Looks absolutely clear here for another 3 days as well, leading up to a weekend of rain (just in time for my two new TV eyepieces to arrive).

[Nathan_Pembs]

Skies were clear at 9 last night but mist, and then thick fog rolled in and lasted all night Could actually see it move across the fields, like something out of an old B movie
