My new scope arrived today. Needless to say, clouded out down here on the south coast!

Skies forecast to be clear for the weekend down here - guess what - family commitments - worse than cloud

Lucky you! Still bucketing rain in the Glasgow area. Good luck, hope it keeps clear for you.

Forecast looking better down here now - a clear night in prospect!

Tomorrow evening finally looks promising as long as the wind stays down. Going to be cold though!

Hooray clear down here amazingly at the mo. Will this be the first time in a couple of months work and other commitments don't coincide with clear skies ?

Probably jiggered it now knowing my luck lately.

Can't go out tonight. I did manage a hour last week which was the first time in two months. Had some setup gremlins waiting for me so it was a largely pointless exercise, then the clouds rolled in. I did amend my Goto to Standard time as I have in the past accidently left it on Daylight saving but even so my Goto's were still terrible. Had to reset the hand control to default and all was sorted. Next time the clocks change I think I will just reset everything to start with.

Been clear here from dusk until about 5 mins ago, so I've just got back in! Transparency quite good, but bright moon washing a lot out.

Clouded out now. Hope you get some better weather further north soon.
