Thanks, will look great.
I  just need that pesky cloud to clear off.

[Knighty2112]

Might be doable if clouds stay clear in the south. 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

[PeterStudz]

In Southampton the forecast is for 100% cloud cover with possible drizzle later on

[ScouseSpaceCadet]

The forecast says clear. My eyes say no. I've not managed an observing session for weeks so fingers crossed!

[Laurieast]

Those blobs of clouds in the Midlands are building...😕 , but moving south, slowly..

Cloud and some drops of rain in Exeter.

[Tiny Clanger]

And the met office, Beeb weather, and clear outside all offer variations on 'patchy cloud' round here,  until total  cloud cover arriving around midnight  .

I'll be prepared (I was in the Brownies after all) but without a high level of expectation ...

I am all set up and cooling down, the scope is out too 😂

[Laurieast]

All set up, cooling down, wired up, plugged in  😃

Not the best seeing, both 8” dob and 80mm frac set up. The dob suffering from bad tube currents too, even the moon is boiling.

Some nice views in the 80mm frac, at one point a staggered stair of GRS, shadow of Io and NEB barge. 

 

[dweller25]

Best view for me was at twilight, managed to see the darker North and South polar regions and the North and South equatorial belts. The GRS was on show but it was very subtle and Io’s transit shadow could just be seen.

Seeing got gradually worse and clouds stopped play at 20:15. 🤷🏻

Seeing not bad up here in South Manchester Io's shadow quite distinct,and a prominent barge in the NEB but struggled with the GRS,cloud started to move in so time for a Beer with the other half!

[Franklin]

Clear here but seeing in and out. Io shadow transit prominent and Io egress seen. Barge in NEB as above. 4" ED refractor @ 140x with Baader CB filter. Seeing better earlier at twilight, Cassini Division and EQ band on Saturn @ 187x with Baader Orange longpass. Copernicus showing great detail, nice shadow.
