Rare occurrence tonight!

[DazC]

Tonight something special is happening.

Even though it's summer,

It's going to be clear skies,

The moon is out of the way,

And it's Friday, no work tomorrow!

I'm going to make the most of this rare event. I haven't had my scope out properly for ages.

Clear skies all.

Very windy here but looks clear...typical...maybe the wind will blow the cobwebs off the old mount?

In Clare - one of the darkest regions in Ireland ... and cloudiest!

[davedownsouth]

I'm all set-up as well.  Not looking good at the moment, but meant to be clear by midnight

[damnut]

Oh eckk  DC  the scope has developed agoraphobia from being kept in the garage for so long...

[Floater]

Hope your skies are kind to you. No chance here. Storms all night and tomorrow.

Same here, of course.

You peeps under clear skies enjoy when you can. We don't envy you at all.
