Oooh, I like this...

[JamesF]

A smidge past 9pm and I'm collecting subs already with the promise of a clear night ahead. Marvellous!

These "dark early" nights are very favourable

[Matt Scunthorpe]

Wish i was out there

[LukeSkywatcher]

I should be out, but my internal clock for some reason unbeknownst to me has reset itself so that i am now in bed by 10pm (11 at the latest) and waking up at 8am.

Never happened to me before. I'll get over it i'm sure. I was off kilter all last week with a kidney infection.

Nice night here too but a gusty breeze is giving the dob a knocking now and then. I'll stick to low to medium power I think but the transparency seems good. Lovely view of M57 with the 13mm Ethos

[michael.h.f.wilkinson]

Cloudy here. Make the most of it while it lasts, James.

Looking forward to the results

[Davey-T]

Was hoping for another clear night but clouds at the moment, been a bit spoilt this year, more nights already than all of last year put together.

It's rather breezy here too, so I'm working in the shelter of the house. I don't think I'd fancy my chances out in the open.

James

[Matt Scunthorpe]

Its not windy here, but its forecast to be cloudy. Clear at the moment though. Choices.. Choices..

[Naemeth]

Cloudy here, forecast to be so for a while (except for a short break). Typical.

[Ags]

Torrential rain over here.

[JKB]

Well im out as you are. Clear as a bell here in Devon

Have fun

Jamie

[Kropster]

Just a few clouds floating around....just where I want to point the scope!

Otherwise clear in Oxfordshire.

[Naemeth]

This topic keeps reminding me to check outside, but alas, it's cloudy.

[LukeSkywatcher]

Must be windy here at high levels because the planes flying over on route to Dublin airport are practically skimming the roof and i can hear them loud and clear. I'm about about 40km south-east of the airport.

[msh1]

yep still clear in devon 3 hr run so far, i need at least another 30 mins clear skies

[Matt Scunthorpe]

Good job i didnt set up as was cloudy by 10.45.

[JamesF]

Cloudy here now, though the forecast still claims it will be clear all night. Perhaps it will pass. I'll give it another twenty minutes or so.

James

[John]

Clouds coming across here now so I've bought the scope in. Best views of the Veil I've ever had though so I've been motivated to post a report in the deep sky viewing section

[Helen]

Still clear here - bit chilly, but lovely and calm... Enjoying being a space tourist with my little Megrez 90 scope

I have just been doing exactly the same. The cloud got worse and there was no point staying out. It has cleared a little to the north east now, but I can see more on its way so I think I'd be wasting my time.

Had a lovely few of the sky to the east after I'd packed up thouigh, with the Pleiades and Hyades looking very pretty and Aldebaran showing very orange even to the naked eye and low in the sky.

How odd. You really can't be too far away in a straight line (it's less than 30 miles to Cardiff from here), but the wind is really gusting here yet it's not really chilly at all.

Oh, and I forgot to mention. Whilst I was checking the incoming cloud and feeling slightly awestruck by the delights of Taurus just now I saw three meteors in the space of as many seconds. So I can go to bed content even if the promise of a long night has been stolen from me.

James

[Bart]

Beautifully clear in Cork. MW stunning. Transparency very good. Only came in as have to earn a crust tomorrow. Great, great, little session. Using my new used Nagler 7mm helped :)

Even some nice meteors thrown in, one leaving a nice tail behind

Barry

[Helen]

I saw a great meteor too James - always makes a night that!

I know what you mean James, looks like I might be able to get some sleep again with darkness rolling in so early! Bed at 3 then up for work at 6.45 is starting to take its toll.

Mind you it's half two now. Where does the time go?!!
