You won't be disappointed with this double - gorgeous but is the non-yellow star really green as many people have described it?

[Bizibilder]

Clear in Norfolk BUT the neighbours are having a BBQ with full halogen floods, flames six feet high(!), music etc - Totally impossible to use the obsy!

[johninderby]

Looked as if it was going to be clear in Derby tonight, but as soon as it got dark just clouds, clouds and yet more clouds.

[Helen]

I'm actually doing some imaging Having fun, rather than anything serious Can't last

Helen

[Sam]

Sounds like there's some nice sessions brewing in UK tonight! Have fun everyone!

[Glider]

8 of us at EMS managed some observing until the clouds rolled in just before mid night. Now I'm home it looks like it's clearing again, might get the gear out in the garden for a go.

[Psychobilly]

Still clear here...

The fronts moving in a bit slower than expected i suppose but i am not complaining for once...

[Doc]

We had a meeting of East Midlands Stargazers tonight, a good turnout as 8 scopes arrived but unfortunately the skies didn't play ball and we drank tea and coffee until midnight and then called it a night.

Oh well always another night

[Helen]

Just managed this M3 - quick process only - having fun!

Helen

[yeti monster]

Last night was one of the clearest yet this trip, unfortunately my glass back had given me a twinge, so I opted instead to take it easy and just lay on my bunk (after a spot of just sitting and taking in the clear night skies, that is).

Hopefully tonight may be as clear and my back be better. I'll be looking out for Venus and the moon, which I failed to notice last night.

[Psychobilly]

Clouds heading your way Helen - just packed up

Peter...

[Helen]

Thanks for the warning Peter. Should be in bed anyway!

Helen

PS just playing with some black eye galaxy subs (wrong tool for the job the Megrez 90, but fun anyway!)

[Psychobilly]

It cloud before the rain so plenty of time to get the obs closed up...

[Glider]

How long before the clouds hit Derby do you think?

[mdstuart]

Just back in..still clear..

NGC 4550/1, M89 M90 NGC 4654, 4681,4450,4293,4419,4377,4489,4474,4425...I will check how many were new catches in the morning.

Virgo going out of view behind the tree so finished with a few favorites. Had a whizz around M23/M18/M16/M17 (Swan) then over to M57/M27 and the veil...The swan, M57,M27 and the Veil look so fine in the OIII filter.

Time for bed I feel. Kate will be home from her night shift soon (Police!)...

Bye!

[Helen]

Clouded over here now.... off to bed!

Helen

[Glider]

Now if the cloud will just hold off another 5min I'll have got a good hour of M51, not a bad outcome after the earlier clouded over EMS meeting.

[Llamanaut]

clear as a bell all evening in weymouth.... just bagged M53...... whoop whoop!
