stufft Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 it's just not fair, new scope delivered on monday and it's been cloudy since then. Working back shift today, still 4 hours to go and I can see clear skies. Chances of still being clear after 8pm? Very slim I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrGui Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 Cheer up stufft. I've had my new cgem 800 for almost 2 months and its been outside twice in that time .... and it was hazy on the second night. Still I managed to do a little bit of playing with the new toys.
