Yes looks like a good night here, just hope the sea mist lays off

[Big Jim Slade]

Looking good in Bedfordshire. First time out with the mount under EQMOD control tonight, I think. Also a serious attempt at drift aligning, followed by an assult on the Leo Triplet.

No doubt I will left in a state of frazzled confusion after serveral hours, but you've got to have a go.

[Danz0o]

Looking forward to using my new Televue plossl's for the first time, been waiting for a clear night for ages

[Kai]

Looks like the high cloud is melting away now

[PRG]

Got my scope outside.... to warm up!

[Mikea]

Lots of dew here already....

[oldfruit]

Got my scope outside.... to warm up!

Lol! Been a bit like that here today, 22 C. Hope the high cloud clears.

[Uranium235]

yeah, got a bit of high cloud here too. Hopefully that will clear a bit and the wind die down a little.

Eager to test the new FF/FR I got today

[BinocularSky]

Hmmm. Cirrus.

[noakesy]

im ready

[JKB]

Me too, clear here. Scope out ready to go. First try with Guidescope and EQ3/2 guiding MOD.

Clear skies all

[Pete Presland]

mak 180 in its new home,waiting for saturn!

[Adrian]

Scope out and collimated for the first time in 3 months. Hoping the high cloud clears here.

[Uranium235]

Cleared up nicely now and all systems are fully operational

A few wobbles from the wind, but otherwise ok.

[Stu]

Nice and clear here too. Scope out and working fine, just come in for a few minutes to wait for Saturn to move out of the heat haze over the neighbours house!

Stu

[malc-c]

Sods law... nice clear sky, 57% humidity and 14c at the moment in the back garden and I'm ill

Oh well - hopefully the weather will hold over the next few days

[old glyn]

Over two and a half hours viewing with the Meade LS-6. Thanks to a mildly heated (20 watts) dew zapper there was not a trace of moisture on the lens. This was the first time I have used it. I can't say the same about the eyepieces though. I had to change these from time to time as they most certainly did fog over. Not to worry, there was no wind and the seeing was good. All in all an enjoyable evenings entertainment.

[Ouzodan]

the swines at the bbc promised me clear skies tonight, just got my scope out for the first time alligned my scope & thick cloud rolled in, missed saturn by minutes going to give it another 10 mins then go back indoors

[Pug]

I'm off to cornwall for the weekend, clear skies forecast, no light pollution and the mrs has left some space in the motor for the scope. I don't half love that gal!

[alowen]

Where you headed Pug ?

[Pug]

A farmhouse just outside of Camelford. All packed and ready to go! Sorry Alowen, another bloomin grockle on his way!

[Tim]

I've had a couple of cracking nights here in the midlands, tonight looking good too. That should make four all nighters this week

[Uranium235]

Same here TJ, its 3 nights in a row for me so far. But I wasnt able to stay up during the week cos of work.... tonight however.. heh heh... an all-out blitz on M81 & 82 methinks

[astroimpulse]

Yet again the cloud just stops after my doorstep

Last night I persevered and stayed out from 8 till 5am! Clouded over but I managed to finally get the guiding gear agreeing with each other. No useful images but it was another milestone.

I've set up the tri-pod ready for tonight but it's looking dire

Have a cracking night.
