Volcanic ash

For those who are interested...

Strong SW winds with rain will arrive by Sunday so this will blow the ash away and flights can start again..

Hi Mark, you're better than the Mess Office!

When we were away you mentioned a site to use for printing off star charts/ maps, could you remind me of where I can find it please?

Many thanks

Nice site Mark. Good to know there is low pressure on the way from that perspective.

Off topic - I notice that you're looking to build a stevenson screen. Ive looked into this also. Currently house my thermometer sensor in a sort of make-shift screen made from plant pot trays. The lips of the trays create an effective sun screen and can be placed to allow airflow through. Ive cut out the middles, suspended the sensor inside and painted it white.

It works, but I still think my recorded temp is slightly raised over what it should be.

My stevenson screen was made out of some old louvered wardrobe doors! Painted white. It looks good and does the business!
