sorry people... put your scopes away.

Just clicked the big buy button on an IDAS D1 so expect cloud tonight.

[Beulah]

I'm not set up to get the big lightbuckets out there at the moment, so it won't affect me...  

[Charic]

let it rain      nothing new here,  have you considered buying one of those IDAS Sky-light Water/cloud suppression filters too, that'll keep the scope dry 

[swamp thing]

Oh great thanks

Right I'm off to the pub then

Enjoy

Phew I thought the clouds were because of me borrowing Turn Left at Orion from a friend and being all keen to try it out.

What do you mean put it away.

IT NEVER COMES OUT.

[LukeSkywatcher]

I just wondered what it was.

Don't need to wonder any more.

Well mine is sitting outside with a scope cover on it.

Last time I managed to photograph anything was 11 days ago

Good choice of filter- should work really well with the modified Canon you have.

Well, I forecast many crystal clear winter nights this year.

How do I know?, welI don't, I'm just guessing, but maybe if we all believe it will happen, it will  .

I just like optimism, to hell with the weather forecasters, they haven't earned their salaries this last year.

If I want a 24 hour forecast, I'll ask a Farmer, but we are slowly running short of them too    .

I strongly suspect that the IDAS D1 works by sending all the suppressed light pollution to my skies.  The positive correlation between IDAS D1 sales and light pollution in Chicago supports this hypothesis.
