Why is it ........

[Nick P]

When we get a night of good seeing and the clouds have cleared...... the wind picks up and sets everything dancing in my eye piece!

After an hour outside this evening freezing weather, best seeing for a long time, and limited to magnification of 82x!!!!!

Can't win

Amateur astronomy really is a test of endurance in the UK!

Yep

British weather blows, and this year it has been particularly bad.

great year for me to start back into astronomy.. :|

we talk about it far more than do it, kinda depressing

[Nick P]

Sure is! anyway managed a nice view of Albireo at very low magnification - so not a complete waste of effort - now, can I find M27 in this wind!

And welcome back to astronomy Earl

I'm sat up on the side of the valley, unfortunately the wind put pay to me making the effort to get the scope out >..<, not to mention the bloomin moon lol.
