Have faith Marc it is looking good for sunday night but saturday night from midnight looks good.

Some of the best views I've had are after it has rained only a few hours earlier. We shall see what tomorrow brings

 Met check still has it mostly clear up to midnight then clear after

scopes all packed away now - just cant see the point in setting up for midnight, getting 2 or 3 hours mediocre observing and packing away. then spending the following day towing big time with lack of sleep.

:happy7:

 

i'll get it back out end of july if its lucky.

Nice image Eric. 

Damian no worries about the pics glad you got to share them, as you say I'm a bit stuck up here! But it's not Mars as I was looking North. So think it might be Capella but not too sure!

a satellite  perhaps, such as an iridium flare

my guess would be that the ISS was on the night time side of the planet and it was a meteor burning up in the earth's atmosphere. I'm sure there will be a sensible explanation.

although I believe that life exists on other planets (in some form), I don't believe that aliens have visited our planet - if they have technology to travel across the universe, what reason do they have to come visit us other than to say hello? And if they were that advanced, the authorities wouldn't be able to hide them and stop them from saying hello to everyone.

It's a dull grey morning over in my neck of the woods. Hopefully things will pick up and the perma cloud will exit quickly.

Scope is at the ready and I'm looking forward to a bit of eyepiece time. Also nursing a hangover lol!

Yea. A grey start today. Should brighten up a bit today but still some cloud around. Chance of some rain showers between 6 and 8 tonight but then it should clear for the rset of the night as far as I can tell at this stage.

I couldn't look at your picture on my phone. I'll try again when I fire my laptop up later.

Hoping it clears later as I am up for a run out to Winscar for a couple of hours tonight. At the in-laws for the afternoon and evening, but will pack the car and scoot down for around 10.30pm if anyone else is heading out, and if it looks like it's going to be worthwhile. I'll keep an eye on here later on to see what's happening :)

Is the little car park different to "down the hill from the Red Apple Cooperative Workers?"

Yes, it is by the Yacht club across the reservoir
