Just paid for the premium version of Windy. com.

Have used it for the last few years. The weather is so changeable at present but at least Windy gives us some hope of clear skies. It becomes more accurate as we get closer to the start of the Star Party, more so it appears, than other predictive programs ( I Hope). 😀

It's normally a bit windy around Calvin

Thanks for all the good wishes folks.  February will be marginal - I don't expect to be even driving, never mind humping equipment around until  January 17th at the earliest - not much time to get up to speed!.  Anyway, here is my latest photo for inspection 🤪

Have a great time.

Cheers,

Peter

As you may be aware it may be raining at the time of arrival?? 

Some clear blue sky on the way in. And the usual suspects 😁

Problems with connection at present. 6 pitches now taken and another on the way in the next few minutes.  Looks like a couple of good nights to come tomorrow (Friday)  and Saturday with luck. Raining at present but due to clear soon. 😀

I am sure pictures will follow.

Me ? No I'm working tomorrow, hoping to finish early, vans all packed and hooked up, going to work in the merc so I can just jump in and set off.

Hopefully be there before its too dark, although the really clear spell has shifted in forecast to Saturday daytime 🙄

See you tomorrow.

Hi, Guys,

With any luck I'll be partially mobile again on Monday - walking boot replacing my cast.  But of course Sod's law kicks in and the weather isn't looking so good for next week.  BUT tonight and tomorrow look very good for you  over in the West.   So I hope all goes well for you.  With any luck you'll see an aurora - there's been reasonable activity every night recently.  I missed the big one of course 😒

Have a great time,

Cheers

Peter

Don't get to comfy I've changed the headlight bulbs in my car to 2mil lumens, and we will be late just saying 👹
