3 hrs of clear skies - I am jealous (although just looked and does give 2 hrs for us up north 🙂 . 

I really hope it comes to fruition for you.

With the time of year and a full moon it would have to be Jupiter, Saturn or a very bright DSO.

Hi Guys

Stay quite about clear skies

This morning as leaving home around 4-30am, had moon western horizon, and trailing behind Jupiter

Yesterday morning, same time, Jupiter was a fraction away from the moon, around 2 o'clock position

Saturn was almost over head, and very clear and visible

Well still not clear and no sign of it either 😔, so all packed up and I'm getting good at packing away super quietly 🤣

Same here. The moon is behind these clouds.

Actually did what it said on the tin here, clear from about 10:00 tile 12:00.

Just observed Jupiter for a while till clouds got too much so just packed in and time for a few zzzzz's.

I feel so sorry for you. It is hard enough at this time of year with it being light enough to read by till well after 10:30, then the full moon appearing at some stage and always the odd cloud about to dodge so top marks for you at least trying, and your post actually gave me a nudge to try as well and I did manage to get a brief observing session, well a couple of hours anyway, so thanks for the post .

Tired again for works though 😞

I did for about 20 mins on Jupiter and then a brief spell on the moon just to blind myself before I packed up .
