Skys have been pants this year, im still considering selling my astro gear, hardly use it these days

Well it's sod law!!!!!, tonight has been in comparison not bad, but i couldn't get out, I am sticking with it due to the couple of decent nights we may get at home this year,

Winscar/SuttonBank etc are off the Radar for me this year in any case.

Hi all

SGL have this weekend set up our very own club section. With us being one of the most active groups on the forum the admin want us to try it first. 

It can be found here:-

Well you did well Vicky, nearly a quarter of 2018 gone and the skies have been terrible, even a clear sky with a 100% Moon will do me now !!!

Last night, set up at 2030hrs, Camera 'jam' within 5 mins, freezing up on exposure, messed about, turned everything off , re-alignment etc, worked for 5 mins then stuck again on taking image, went inside , uninstalled the new Atik Version, reinstalled previous, went back out, set up again, working ok, by now my 2 alignment stars  were not visible, cloud cover came in and I packed up at 2200hrs, nothing to show for 1.30 mins !!.

Gutted for you Eric. Frustrating when you end up losing the little clear sky that we have got recently. 

I have been quiet on here this last week, but see Damian's post above regarding the new WADAS Club Section. I believe that is where we are continuing our thread. Damian will correct me if I'm wrong :)

Faith restored, out last night, 93% Moon, high cloud, but few gaps, everything went smoothly, no hiccups, aligned on Polaris & Arcturus, spot on middle of screen, clouds getting worse went straight to M3 (New one for me) on screen, set exp to 6 secs, stacked, less than a minute later full cloud cover but at least an image, didn't bother to record just grabbed a screenshot.
