Clear sky confession


Alan White

Recommended Posts

Last night when I got up for a nocturnal visit to the bathroom about 2am, 
I looked out and it was fairly clear.

For a moment I thought let’s go observe….
Then the warm bed called and I went back to the land of zzzzzz

Now regretting my call as it’s cloudy again this morning, typical

On Thursday night my imaging session was regularly interrupted by passing cloud. After the third lot I gave up and shut everything down. After locking up I looked up and of course it was crystal clear, an inky black sky and a distinct Milky Way visible. I’m ashamed to say I went to bed cursing the UK weather.

Sometimes you just can't be bothered. Think it's been a month now for me, last week there was potential for a good AP run but clouds wouldn't disappear until around 11 and I refuse to setup unless there's a clear few hours forecast, so I thought leave it. All the while my target is mocking me as it slowly drifts out of altitude.

Im not a late night imager, if it isnt going to be clear from sun set then I wont set up. I cant stand being up to late love my bed to much! but recently as age has crept up on me I have been visiting the bathroom more often in the night and popping my head outside  only to see clear skies when before I went to bed it was just clag! I think I should find another hobby!

I left my rig pre setup in the hope I could get at least two more 1 hour sessions to finish a target (needs to be at a specific time which further exasperates the issue). Nope. Weather's been awful this year so I packed it all away.
