Offski....

[estwing]

There will be a lot more sensible comments on here next week as the Dob Mob will be on the Isle of Skye for a week.

Hopefully there will be endless reports on our return...clear skies everyone.

best of luck to you all

Can we expect reports on the news of certain establishments on the Isle of Skye running out of malt Whisky during this period?

Have a great time. Keep a keen eye out for fish eagles, golden eagles, and hen harriers too.

Clear skies.

I could imagine an exciting sequel to Compton Mackenzie's novel Whisky Galore - frantic islanders move their stash of the water of life from homestead to homestead in an ever more futile attempt to keep it away from the hands and throats of the dreaded Dob Mob.

Might be a few other birds, too, which could play havoc with your observing:

That sounds like Dunvegan ?  In case you were planning on attending the  Dunvegan Victorian Christmas party - its cancelled - The Parish Council have refused to mdernise to that extent! ;-)

[Floater]

When the guys in khaki arrive, all blacked up and armed, be sure to have your pocket sky atlas at hand as you reassure them that your Dobs are not rocket launchers ...

They might have seen previous pictures on this site!

I've got some friends on Skye. They keep sharing pictures of Aurora  - very annoying when you live in the Midlands!
