Heads Up Hole in the clouds.

[Beyond_Vision]

Looks like there might be a small window of opportunity, over SW Wales and SW England, for a few hours maybe from looking at the satellite pics and the approx speed and rotation of the clouds over the Atlantic

Supposed to be cloudy here so I didn't bother with the 5-6 hours campaign to persuade Kate to let me set up this afternoon at the expense of child care... so...

...it's clear... :scratch:

Anyone in Devon or Cornwall looks like you might have a good night

I think its gonna get us Kevin, and its gonna get you first, please let me know how clear it is if possible. I have a new toy to test and its going to take some setting up.

an OAG for my Newts

I havent tried it, but the way its configured, I should be able to use it with my Moonlite focusser on the SCT, probably only at F10, but i'll try f6.3. But I am hoping it will go on my new GSO and help to make a much more "grab n go" friendly setup that is much quicker to setup and start after moving the kit.

Hoping to try it on the GSO tonight maybe. Although I am also tempted to just grab some more data for m81 / m51. Decisions decisions...

If you are in Tenby then you should be getting the potential clear patch over you around now. It's just starting to clear a bit here now.

[Psychobilly]

still nowt here... head for the chat room for regualr updates

There was a hole which has now closed with cloud from the atlantic. Next chance for good skies is Monday for Scotland and then the South from Tuesday as high pressure settles over the UK.

Nice clear skies here in my part of Sussex! Been able to get out and take some photos!
