will it b clear tonight?

[kniclander]

fabulous blue skies over london today; now just a few clouds. I really fancy seeing the europa shadow transit (ends 21.54 BST) and seeing if I can spot the gannymede transit (starts 23.12) and the waning moon. It's been cloudy here for days and days (sniff) so here's hoping

[TheThing]

Yep, fingers crossed. Been beautiful all day so whats the beating it clouds over about half 8?

[tinvek]

ok usual head up for those in the northwest, it's been clear skies over anglesey all day (well from about 10.20 am) so i would think anyone in the cheshire area is in for a good night

predictably there's cloud coming over here now

[Deneb]

maybe we might be lucky

[Psychobilly]

Hopefully it will be clear enough to try learn my way around the new handcontroller firmware...

Although its gone down hill big time in the last hour here

Looking good (ish) in Wiltshire right now.....

Just the odd cloud on the horizon.

Fingers (and everything else for that matter) crossed...

Well, dobserver has just put the 12" Lightbridge out to cool, my sw200p is already out, hoping to refine my polar alignment tonight and try out the new remote timer for the D80. Shame the moon is going to wash everything out later, might just concentrate on imaging the moon. What's everyone else hoping to achieve tonight?

[Psychobilly]

I hope the stuff on the horizon doesnt head your way... as its pants

[steve_bham]

Just had a peak out the window and looked ad SAT24 and looks clear, fingers crossed

[alfingido]

Beautiful clear skies in Kent all day and clouds are appearing on the horizon. Hoping to try out my new 200P ( bought last Tuesday) and new 100ED that came today.

Its obviously going to rain soon...............

Got a few clouds rolling in here ( S. Beds) but its still looking good for a clear night.

Saying that, this thread has probably jinxed things....

They normally do....

One thing I am starting to learn... is dont announce your plans in advance...

[Capricorn]

Pretty obvious but the answer is: Yes, somewhere.

Don't ask me the next bit as I have no idea.:evil6:

[kniclander]

woo hoo it's clear here:) I just ned to tear myself away from SGL and get out there....

[Mark at Beaufort]

Thanks Kniclander for the reminder that both Europa and Ganymede will transit tonight. Yesterday I bought Nick Howes' 6" Meade refractor so what a night to try it out and on Jupiter as well!!

Mark

[Stardust]

looking good here on the south east coast

[Mark at Beaufort]

Just been outside to set things up and the sky is totally overcast (Hereford). I jumped the gun too with my statement on observing Jupiter tonight!!

Mark

[rawhead]

Still clear in Norfolk and I'm ready to go.

Hope to image Europa's transit with the DMK

Cheers
