Clear night, no clouds.... Fog EVERYWHERE

[SmokeyJoe]

First clear night for ages.   Set up before dark, polar aligned, focused just after dark. Left it till just before ten in the hopes of reducing light pollution.  Went outside horrible Norfolk fog, can't see any stars, can only just see my scope, kit soaking.  Living in the UK is just not compatible with AP. Grrrrrr. 😡

If it is any consolation I have the same problem. Clouds for months then thick fog when the clouds disappear.

I live in an area where two large rivers join into a 250 hectare water world.

A magnet for wildlife and much needed sanctuary (even if it does feed the nuclear power station further down stream).

under certain conditions we have had thick fog for a month without a single clear moment.

I feel your pain.  I believe the Romans called Britain 'The Misty Isle' things haven't improved much!
