All dressed up and nowhere to go ...

[budski]

We've had a fine, clear day here in south Somerset so got the 'scope out at about 5pm to acclimatise the metal&glassware. Went in for some tea and watched the rest of the footie. When I got back outside again it had completely clouded over.

I don't think the neighbours heard me ....

Been there ... done that ... one of the many frustrations that go along with this hobby. But when you have a really good night that makes you forget them all

[Moonshane]

what's your point? I thought this is what we all do?

[PortableAstronomer]

Actually I can't remember a night this year when this *didn't* happen !

Better luck next time..

Hi,

I

am in NE ESSEX and exactly the same thing happend.

Under normal circumstances I wouldn't complain about the weather - I've plenty of other things to do anyway. Truth is that I've had a C11 for nearly a month now and have yet to see anything through it. The only positive thing is that I've developed muscles like coconuts in picking it up and placing it on the mount.... then take it down again when the clouds roll in. Ah, well ... I think I've spent more time on this forum than at the eyepiece for the last few weeks - but then you are such nice folks out there.
