I was up the Cambrian Mountains back last September in a converted barn.The night sky is great there nice and black and no light pollution.I used my 20x80's binoculars on a tripod take a head light with you because it is so dark there.If you like Kites there is a feeding centre in the area at 2pm every day the centre throw meat out in a field and the Kites and Buzzards come down to feed on a meat.I used my 70-200mm camera lens to capture the birds in flight while coming down to feed.When i was there last it was £4.00 for adults.Mark

 Well I managed to squeeze my scope in the car but looking at the sky and the forecast I think it will be staying next to Henry all week ?

Not been good so far has it?

I arrived in Powys last Friday and found I'd left all my astro DSLR CF memory cards somewhere else. I'm consoling myself in the fact that I haven't needed to use them yet!!

Not a star in sight all week, and Doris is here now!  Forecast shows a brief respite tonight, as ever, we live in hope.  Could be a rough day first though, so keeping safe in the lodge I think, and that would be my advise to everyone. Keep safe and clear skies tonight.
