Finally, some clear skies tonight.

I'm finally, and I mean finally, getting some clear skies tonight. So tonight is technically 1st light on the NEQ6 too. 

All setup and ready to go. Just need to watch Game of Thrones 1st.

Excited once again.

Nice set up ready to roll... Enjoy!

I'm just procrastinating as to whether or not to visit my girlfriend and set up in her garden for later... maybe look for some colourful doubles or triples up there in my 102 :-0

Yup, sounds good. Good luck with the sky.

It's lovely and clear here too but I frazzled after a long, busy shift at work.

I'll have to make do with reading your obs. report!

Good luck to all you guys who have clear skies, I've come to the conclusion I must live in the cloudiest area of the UK, it's been either raining or cloudy for ages.

Nice and clear here too. All set up and ready to go.

Clear, but with murky seeing here

Well.... I had clear skies... Until it started to get 'Dark'. 

Managed to basically polar align and line up the new Telrad before the cloud rolled in. 

I did get to see ISS buzz over... Which is always nice. But my favourite viewing of the evening, was the last 'star' I could see, just over the horizon. So, I thought I would just check out the Telrad accuracy one last time. Needless to say, when I looked down the 10mm EP I had in, I was happy to say the least, when the little star turned out to be saturn. Ha Never planned that one... And this is the actual first time I've seen it's rings, with my own equipment in my garden. So that was a lovely end to  cloudy night. 

Shame the cloud rolled in before the camera could get a shot. Maybe next time.

"All's well that ends well."

Great to see these wonders with your own gear from home. I've mentioned before it amazes me what we can see with very modest equipment.
