More clear skies tonight

[Pig]

It looks like we are going to have some rain Later in Northants but then a few hours of clear skies are forecast 😀 which is especially good because I find the seeing to be better after a nice rainfall. This coupled with no work for a couple of days is all sounding a little to good to be true 🔭 fingers crossed.

Unfortunately clear skies aren't much good if it doesn't get dark!  Not that you can rely on weather forecasts anyway!

It is pretty dark Gina, I sat in the garden last night looking at the stars around 11pm and it was pretty decent, maybe AP need conditions to be a lot darker, but on the whole it’s worth a shot 🔭

Planetary, start clusters, lunar, etc. should be alright, I agree.  Galaxies and nebulae not so.

Yes ... I tend not to bother with galaxies and nebulae as I have never had much joy with actually observing them 😀 I am sure this will change when I move to a house that is in a darker location and buy a larger aperture scope 😀
