Clear Skies for 2 Nights Alert.

[Pliadian]

Good Afternoon Fellow Astronomers.

I may be telling you all the obvious, but Wed & Thurs nights look crystal clear.

My Astro forecasts are usually right and although it is a bit damp & cloudy now. It is supposed to be great from 9pm onwards.

I am in the Midlands but generally it looks good.

Just saying x.

Scott.

Looking good here also had a few showers this afternoon but clearing up nicely hope it stays that way

[Andy_E]

Same here... hoping there's not too much moisture in the air

[Pliadian]

May website says 5-5 for clarity and 3-4/5 for seeing. Should be good enough for DSO.

[Andy_E]

Hope so, the moon is fairly well positioned tonight

Forgot about the moon, not seen it yet. Trouble is i'm in an East facing garden tonight for early morning Jupiter. Maybe the weekend for lunacy x.

lovely crescent shaped moon tonight, its looks exactly like that image where someone is sat in it

[asset189]

Aye but by God its cold in this neck of the woods, strong north wind blowing now. Its a real shock to the system as ive got used to sitting out as the dark nigths returned in a t-shirt and jean. Full winter kit needed tonight!

[bish]

Clear here at the moment.  Watch out for the clouds, I'm about to put my scope out!

[Pliadian]

Setup, aligned and two new eyepieces waiting for Jupiter at 1am.

Just popped outside here in Margate, beautifully clear sky, but that wind speed sounds about right!  Didn't stay outside for long!

[Andy_E]

Hmmm, looks like they got it wrong for Cheshire. Ah well.

Blowing a gale here, lost the new trampoline this afternoon 1/2 a mile up the road in pieces. Official technical description is "grubbed" 
 

So with the wind a complete non starter

[avtaram]

I don't believe it !

Went for a walk at 8, there wasn't a cloud in sight, got back at 9, still clear.

Setup aligned and ready to go by 9:15.

Came in for a cup of tea (really cold outside) and out by 9:30.

Clouds came rolling in, wall to wall cover in 15 minutes.

Waited an hour, seemed to be getting worse, and to cap it all it starting spitting a little.

Packed up and came in. Looked out 10 minutes later, it was clear.

I wasn't going to set up again so got the binos out and spent half an hour looking at kembles cascade, the double cluster and

the alpha persei cluster.
