Clear night forecast tonight

[Paulhenry85]

Grab your scopes, binocs jackets whatever and get outside because it's looking good where I am

Just put the dob out, hoping to get the first good look at Jupiter later. There's a high station pass at 18:33.

Likewise, gotta get up early for work so just observing from home tonight. boooooo!

Looking good here, too.  It is exactly seven weeks since my last clear night.  I've got no idea what's going in in the sky or anything like that.  I've completely lost track

Thanks for the heads up. Yes lovely pass, not dark but still like a beacon.  It's nice to see a clear sky !

I'm going to setup now. I was getting withdrawal symtoms.

Always looks good when its a 05:00 start for me in the morning and a 200 mile drive!   Just an hour with the Dob me thinks tonight.

Hitting the PacMan Nebula live as we speak, and I've got tomorrow off too.  Just waiting for the freak blizzard storm to arrive any minute now to spoil things.

Well, it might be clear here, but the seeing is rubbish.  I think there's a hint of mist in the air and moonlight is being scattered everywhere now.  Not the best of nights

Had a really good evening in my light riddled back garden. Caught my first glimpse of M31 and revisited a few old friends such as M13 and M27. Clouds are on/off here. Mostly off.

It's been pretty decent here for once.  A bit breezy but the walls of the observatory have helped to keep the buffeting to a minimum.  Have managed 3 hours but the Moon is now affecting the AA8RC+QHY8 but the little frac with the SXV-H9 and an Ha filter should be okay for a while yet.

Hurrah ! Lovely session from the wonderful ISS pass through to 2, when cloud and el Moon stopped play. Great first light for a new focuser , plenty double stars,

Nick.

I'd failed to keep an eye on the forecast and completely missed a night's observing.  Woke this morning to see the moon and Jupiter shining down out of a beautiful clear sky, Orion blazing away.  Oh well, at least the bike ride to work will be nice and sunny.

Like James said. It was clear last night for about an hour but the transparency was rubbish. Very disappointing. Got the Saturn nebula but once I applied magnification it just turned to mush. Disappointing. Now the moon is rising later and a new one approaching, please weather gods, please give us Western European astronomers a break. Not fair!

Great session last night after such a long time.

Did a few sketches of doubles and some open clusters.

Had to pack up at 11 as the clouds rolled in.

Also had some great closeup views of the moon through the Baader zoom set at 8mm with the 2.25 Barlow in the 120ed.

You jammy beggars. Nothing but cloud over my house.

It's like the end of the world here.

And will be for a few days, by all accounts.....you know, the usual.....
