Hi All,
Being a newbie I've only had a few nights underneath the stars. This I'm starting to realise is not through lack of enthusiasm or zero knowledge of the night sky but weather. I've read a lot of people complain about it in this forum and I naively thought that I would somehow be unaffected by this!
Anyway it's the first night it's clear enough for me to do a bit of lunar observation and I'm stuck with a freelance project that I have to get out tonight, typical.
I complain about day time weather enough and now I have to complain about the night time weather as well. Oh well I suppose being British it's what we're good at and there is no point in doing things by halfs!

Keeping them crossed and also performing the opposite of a red Indian rain dance!
I'm sure we'll have some clear nights until the Canon adaptor arrives for my banana scope.
