Buzz Dark Night Posted September 26, 2010 Share Posted September 26, 2010 I know how you feel, I got my new scope over 5 weeks ago and havn't had chance to use it yet, I have had a fortnights holiday (cruising the Med) during this period where we had some of the darkest clearest skies I have ever seen!! Sod's Law I suppose? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uplooker Posted September 26, 2010 Share Posted September 26, 2010 Alas, this is the price you pay for purchasing Astronomical equipment. It is common knowledge that if someone buys a new bit of kit they and everyone else will have at least 2 weeks of pea soup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Specman Posted September 26, 2010 Share Posted September 26, 2010 Set up tonight at 6:30pm under beautiful clear skies, not a breath of wind. As darkness fell I watched the clouds roll in with it! Very frustrating! Just a few minutes peep at Jupiter and her moons before packing up Still good practice I suppose , if nothing else.

asteria Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 It was OK in East Devon - quite a good night, very still, good seeing. I was able to do a couple of hours. Sounds like I was a bit lucky. Hope it clears for you all soon. Ed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
russ Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 Clear near Southampton but seeing even worse than two weeks ago. You know it's real bad when not only do the stars at zenith twinkle madly but Jupiter too. Jupiter was nothing more than a wobbly single stripe frazzle.
