According to Environment Canada, there's good news and bad news. The good news is, it's only going to be partly cloudy. The bad news is it's going to be -11. I may get out, anyway, for a short time.

Your not having much luck are you nabban....

We had clear skies on Friday from just before dawn, managed a quick look at Jupiter, and Venus through the 80 wide field and had a quick look with modified camera lens with adapter. Sunny all day, and guess what, as the Sun set the clouds rolled in.

I am jealous of you lot, but keep your freezing temperatures, it's a reasonable 6 to 10 degrees here.

Lay off us Northerns, I am suffering the same as you OM, and for longer. So far this year, I have managed 2 good nights and three horrible ones, (wind)

After all you have managed some crackin images, and they are as near as I get to observing most nights! :( :p

They say New Zealand is the land of the long white cloud, I feel as if Orkney is the land of the permenant black cloud!!!!!

[GazOC]

Staying up for Jupiter JD? I tried to last night but failed.......shame 'cos whe I looked out at 04:30 the sky looked clear as a bell.

[OXO]

In for second warm up hehe..

Gaz it's at the front of the house so setting up is a bit risky around these parts.. I will take a look though with the 102 frac .

Just setting up the 102 for some globs tiz cold out there tonight.
