Clear here what's the forecast for tonight? 

[nicks90]

patchy cloud and had a few showers in the past couple of hours here at wakefield. Currently debating if i will get the dob out later to catch my first view of orion, uranus and jupiter this season.

[mapstar]

It's clear here for now was wondering if it would be worth a winscarr trip? Done Jupiter and Orion and attraction never dims.Thought I could see the grs on Jupiter the other night but didn't confirm with web

I'm out imaging M31 with the 80mm triplet data looking great.

Looking forward to seeing the finished product Kieran. I might also need to pick your brains some time soon on using the Atik. I'll have a go first though :-)

[Astronomer69]

Yeah just let me know but never really got used to using mine properly but I know pretty much how to get it going.

Was going to upload some more astro info links but looked on the drive and the last ones I posted haven't been put on so are we not using them?

[Astronomer69]

Yes will get round to it crash if you could email me the links and things directly I will get them on this week.

[nicks90]

crash, definitely on the google drive - under star charts and online resources.

[crashtestdummy]

Only showing four links when I log into the drive hence my quiery

Ignore me, but it was coming up a big "couldn't display page box" - cleared my cache and its working fine now and displays correctly.

Site looks terrific

[stevemuir]

Site looking good. One thing - we should probably remove names of speakers until they've confirmed. I haven't heard back from Terence Kee yet....

[MrFinster]

Am unable to attend this months meeting, was looking forward to it. Medical emergency with a family member last week meant I had to swap shift patterns so I don't finish work until 10pm this week.

Really wanted to be there for the talk. 

[stonemonkeylives]

No worries, was thinking of maybe recording the audio and posting it up on the website but will need to clarify it's ok before I can say for certain it'll happen.
