Pleased to hear you all had a nice evening together, but shame the skies didn't play ball. Love the photo - I really missed going up there this time despite the lack of clear skies. Hope nobody was hurt in the accident, and glad you all missed it and got home safely. Pity about your car Damian - hopefully you'll get it sorted with minimal cost. Looks like it is going to be cloudy for the next few days, which is rubbish

Not good on the sill Damian hope is not to costly. 

As for my driving I was only in a rush to get back for the clear skies. Feels worse when you are in the back and can't see

Here's a pic for prosperity. 

 

Just think how many Damians you could fit in that monster!

Haha, funny, when I first saw the photo I had an image of Damian wearing a helmet and cape being fired out of it like a cannon hehe

Glad you all had a hoot even if the weather didn't play ball.

I was out for a little while last night. The foggy haziness was terrible however the atmosphere was very still. Best I've seen it for ages. I did a quick process of one of the avi's I took last night. I should have applied a little gain on the image as its a bit dark. I'll have another go at it and the others later.

Not many he's a bit of a pie muncher!!!! 

Don't think I'll be putting a build thread together now. 

[Physopto 2,144]

Aye, instead of talking about it, use the thing!

I would love to look through that scope of yours Damian. You have spent so much time making it, time for observing I think. Have fun!

You'll get the chance in November I hope if you don't bring any of those cloud thing's with you

Sorry for posting the pic Damian, I didn't mean to let it out of the bag so to speak!

My best Jupiter image from last night. It's amazing how different the atmosphere is from day to day. Still wasn't perfect but much better than it has been lately even if it was a bit foggy.
