:crybaby2:Typical.....after days of clouds and rain we finaly get a clear night. Hump all the kit out, set up, and its blowing a gale!!! was going to try some imaging...LOL Stars bouncing about all over the place. Can't win!

Lovely and clear Martin but the missus has gone away for the weekend and i`ve been left holding the baby again!!!! So thats 4 nights i`ve missed recently due to a/ technical problems b/ the missus!!!

Alan:(

yup.

Its not often I see it so windy that even 3 second exposures are affected. Given that I was hoping to do 15 minute shots, its pretty depressing.

Still, I have decided to take the weather gods on at their own game, and am doing 15 min shots, though cloud, in the wind, with a full moon.

I wonder who will "win".........

[martin_h]

I was going for a 1 min test shot.......I got a star that made a figure of eight!

oops, i forgot to answer your question.

We do it to get out of focus blurry photographs that take a week to process and that nobody looks at except us...........with the odd spectacular result that makes us forget all the troubles......isnt that about the long and the short of it?

Crikey, that pretty much sums it up...

ROFL, funny because it's so true.

Me. I'm an optomistic pessimist. I expect the worst and are happly surprised if it doesn't happen.

Today I expected rain and got mostly cloud BUT for 5 minutes the cloud parted and I looked at a couple of promos on the sun plus a lot of smaller lumps round the edge. So that was nice.
