Stu Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 Pretty average here, got the 12" on Jupiter, some detail but not stunning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brent Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 Pretty rubbish here as well. Guiding is all over the place, but as the moon isn't around for a few hours yet, I will persevere! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
recceranger Posted April 9, 2015 Author Share Posted April 9, 2015 Just seen the news and it looks like we have a blanket of pollution over us courtesy of our European neighbours!Typical, tonight is scheduled as clear well into wee hours and was predicting low humidity/atmosphere disturbance and what happens? Pollution blows in!I understand why Sir Patrick always loved a decent pair of binoculars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chiltonstar Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 Seeing was pretty ppoor here, and the dew is descending!Even easy doubles like Izar were a shimmering mess, and only popped into view nicely for a few secs every minute.Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 Pretty hazy here and only the brighter stars are showing. It's quite steady though and I've managed to split some quite tight doubles with my ED120 at 256x and even 300x, including 25 Canes Venatici which is a first for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qualia Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 Here's my seeing for the next week and it's been pretty much like this since Monday :If someone says it's always sunny in Spain, I think I'll pinch them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonathan Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 The sky has been a haze all day here probably with the Sahara sand, no doubt it will fall all evening so not a good time to be outside with a telescope. Should clear by Saturday night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
