Moonless....

... tonight, don't know what the forcasts are like, haven't bothered looking, but if it is clear, it could be a productive night.....

Lets hope so Caz

Forcast here is for a clear night but the most local forcast shows widespread dense fog.

Drawback of the season I suppose

I need some Moons pics , hope it's clear till around 1.30 before the moon does come up fancy getting a couple of Dso's before Luna..

Don't you think you have had your fair share....

I should really take more time, and put more effort into planning my observations, but on the other hand I'm very reluctant to do so, because all that time, the built up expectation, and excitement preparing, could be wiped out in an instant, due to....

The moon rises Late here in Warrington Cheshire not a real pain till 2.00am ish

[Caz]

I've got till at least midnight before it becomes troublesome, so in essence I was partly right....

Hang on, that was one of my excuses when I started courting some while back...

Get your own excuses :nono:

Anyway, according to heavens above, there's an Iridium flair over Geppetto Towers around 7ish so

I've set up the flair buster rig to lie in wait for an image

Fingers crossed

It wasn't an excuse...

I wondered aobut the time of moonrise you gave, James. It comes up about 10:30 here, and starts interfering with visibility of other targets pretty quickly. Anyway, we're supposed to get 10cm of snow tonight, so I won't be out there looking at stars.

[G1ZmO]

Moonrise at 20:48 here

I'll need to wait until Saturday night when it rises at a reasonable 23:26

I just checked, as I thought I'd made a mistake, but it does rise an hour and a half earlier for you than for me! :?

Here's a sky chart for my Moon as you can see it's only later the moons a problem(if dso observing/imaging etc etc)

I'm off to Krakov for a long weekend so it's bound to be clear here. Always is!
