fogbound tonight

[petermartin5]

very dense fog here tonight( West Cornwall) so no viewing, yet again

Still I picked up an old 1964 book by Patrick Moore at a car boot earlier.Its called " TheSky at Night" and consists of essays re. his TV programme.

Quite interesting to read thoughts on astronomy from 42 years ago.

Anyway its some consolation.

Once again I thought I would share some( probably useless) info. with you.

Cheers, Pete

I have high cloud here, although, the moon is visible and looks fantastic.... I've just set the 8" up in the hope I can get a half decent pic....

No clouds here but just enough fog to put me off setting up. Plus the moon is virtually full

[GazOC]

Whats the expression? "It's a target not a problem"?

[GordonCopestake]

true gaz true but this bottle of wine is just so much easier to look at than the moon hehe

It's one of THOSE nights

Foggy here too (Exeter).

In my wisdom I've set up a 150mm f5 refractor to image the moon. I guess I shouldn't have had that last can....

Best of luck Gaz 8)

Got clouds rolling in here hopefully bog off though soon as the Double Cluster needs imaging
