Quick let's go off topic posts, let's have the who's telescope design is best debate or perhaps let's not and just settle down for a nice cup of rosie.

Spent most of the time on Saturn, it has just cleared the house enough for me to get a good look at her. (another week and it will be in prime position for me) The rings have opened up and she is as pretty as a picture, it's nights like this that make me happy I bought a scope.....

Nice too to get a hours viewing in before the clocks go forward. Lighter nights mean having to stay up later. Regards. Peter.

Last night it was rain, heavy cloud and pretty strong gusts, looking at the forecast it looks to be poor for the weekend too, not looking good at all! Tom.

If it ease's down in the next couple or three hours, I might give it a go. Batten down the hatches Geoff, looks like their heading your way. Regards. Peter.

Nothing much changes up here, in the summer the rain feels a little warmer and that's about it.... Post Extras:       BruceG member Reged: 12/29/10 Loc: Apex/N.

Between clouds and pollen I've only gotten one hour of observing the last two weeks. Hopefully this will start a trend for the group where we all finally get some observing time in.

But at least the rain cleaned the air(pollen & such) and the skies are dark blue! Should be excellent the next couple of nights and this may be our last dry weekend until Nov. Hope all have a wonderful night or nights PS I ended up with 5" of rain over a 24 hour period. But since we are down by 13", this really helped with our brush fires.

Whats your summers like for astronomy? Tom. Post Extras:       flboy Carpal Tunnel Reged: 08/10/10 Loc: De Leon Springs, FL Re: Hope some of you guys are out there tonight.... [Re: haytor]       #4489373 - 04/01/11 01:09 PM Edit   Reply   Quote Quick Reply   "Whats your summers like for astronomy?" Hi Tom, This will be my first summer, but I feel confident in saying that it will be too hot & too buggy for me. Plus the sun doesn't set until 8:30pm, which means it doesn't get dark until around 9:30pm. And I only can imagine what the thermals coming off the roads, homes, etc will do to our seeing??? I'm assuming that 4am or 5am may be the best times to view. Oh yeah, I almost forgot about our 90% humidity. My gut tells me that I'll be using the 85mm refractor more than the 8SE.

My skies were clear for long periods last night but the wind was much to strong to allow any viewing. Sunday night holds the best chance over the next few days. Regards. Peter.
