Hi all,

Just found the met office website and thought i'd post the link to it. You can put in your postcode and it'll give you the forcast for the next few days so you can plan ahead or cry due to the fact that since I bought this scope its been heavy clouds for 4 days.

Met Office: Weather

Yeah - clear skies predicted for me from 18:00 to 21:00 tonight so I'll be sure to be out, set-up and cooled down ready for dusk!

Last night I managed the two star align on my scope during which the skies were OK. In the time it took me to find a suitable calibration star on my hand set (couple of mins max) the clouds rolled in and I couldn't see a thing. It was like someone threw a blanket over the sky and I've never noticed cloud just 'appearing' so quickly before.... And that was it for the night. Ggggrrr!

X6gas,

Sounds like an experience I had last week. I thought I had really upset some Diety.

Twice that nice I went out to clear skies setup and went to make a brew come out 2 mins later not a star to be seen. grrrr midnight - 3am was clear as .. but since it was school night had to leave it or my boss would not have been impressed.

I have found apanel and calsky are pretty good and are accurate to an hour or two for me.

Clear Skies,

Fija

P.S like Kevdan sorry for the cloudy skies wish I could get this LS-6 out for first light.

I've had my scope for a week and have barely managed to get it outside. Only managed a 2 star align once...

Saw yesterday that I have clearskies forecase for tonight from six, then realised I have a meal booked at 7 with the missus for Valentine's day...thing is..I actually thought about rearranging it ;-)
