I will be out there tonight, Mark. An planning to try out the DMK with the 6" Mak. Cass. Last time I looked I could not get rid of enormous dust bunnies on the Barlow!!!! I will have to disguise them as craters!!

At the top left is "myMap Server" - you need to register as a new user.

Once registered you can login.
A map will then be displayed - click on "Astronomy Seeing" just above the map.
Now click your mouse somewhere in Kent - a red cross will appear.
Now click "make Map" (near the top right)
A hour by hour table for the next few days will appear.

Go to the bottom of that page for an explanation of what it all means!

Thanks Mark - I've registered.

www.meteoblue.com is currently predicting perfect seeing conditions for Sunday night (11 May).

But don't blame me if it's wrong!

Ooohh! Hopefully i'll get a chance to get out at last and do some imaging !!

Another good seeing forecast for tonight (Monday 19 May) according to www.meteoblue.com

Seeing forecast is excellent for tonight (Wed 4 June).  But I think I've forgotten how to use my scope after so many weeks of cloud ...

Seeing should be very good tonight (Sun 12 Oct)

www.meteoblue.com has just started to include a forecast of the seeing measured in arcseconds. (You need to create a free user account to get to the Astronomical Seeing forecast).
