Another clearish night ?

[John]

Looks like it might be another night when some observing can be done. Some cloud about but mostly clear. 3rd night in a row - don't know how I'm going to cope

Got the TMB / LZOS 130 F/9 triplet out cooling ATM. Give that one a shot at Jupiter then more double stars methinks

[iPeace]

Looks really good this side as well. Going to give the TV-60 a good shakedown before I take it off on holiday. Luna is already out.

You chaps out west seem to be doing well these last few nights. Lots of grey stuff here..

[John]

I may have spoken / posted too soon - big bank of white stuff heading this way from the north

Hope you have not "exported" some of your grey stuff Kerry !

Clear sky here all day and still looking good John. This will be 4 nights in a row. The 120 ED is out cooling and I will try some of the doubles from your report of last night.

Both the north and the west seem to be best lately - hope you chaps get some good skies. I've been doing my annual clear out of the garage and have moved the Dob into the garden for safety! But I don't think its going to be seeng any stars tonight ....

Haze here but still looking good for brighter objects eg: Jupiter and Luna

John, I wish you the best of observing. You've had some awful weather in the West, I know, while in the East we've fared better.

It's your turn now ... ??

Thanks Gordon

Jupiter looks simply wonderful right now. No GRS but so much detail in the belts at 240x with my 5.1" refractor and razor sharp !

Glad you're putting all that aperture to good use.

Mr. Nagler's magic still works, lots of nice detail on Jupiter and Luna is fantastic.

Absolute clear here Gordon and the seeing is even good. Lots of nice detail showing on Jupiter and the Moon. Makes a change as you say. Off to do some doubles now. Hope your sky clears soon.
