Hello everyone,

I'm looking at cloud in cheltenham, but if you get clear skies, then good for you.

I'm setup and waiting for it to get dark.

I have new toys to play with tonight, so doubt I'll get much. But if I get the new cam to focus and get something on the screen then I'll be happy.

(i'm in the SE)

I'm set up but its really marginal with the thin cloud all over the sky. I just wish it would either clear up or cloud over completely....

I decided no, jumped in the tub listening to MJ news, and noticed clear skies for 20 mins.

Got set up and aligned in 5 mins flat, just grabbing my 2nd 20min [sII] sub of the night.

Gonna watch the sat pics closely though

Its cleared up so I'm going to make the most of it and have a quick hour.

I had Heavy rain but the thunder stayed over the Channel ... sky lit up loads of tiems but only the occasional thunder clap and usign the count technique they were soem 10-15 miles away ... No "bolts" visible...
