Daniel (a.k.a. Weather Guru),

Despite it looking awful outside will it clear up again tonight?

If so, I might get the scope out.

You might stand a chance if you know a good rain dance ...

[7:23pm] I'll give it a go ...

[8:28pm] Looks like it's beginning to work ...

[9:35pm] Scope's in the garden - waiting for the clouds to disappear ...

[10:25pm] Beginning to look like a mistake - maybe I didn't dance enough ...

[11:20pm] Still hasn't cleared.  Probably consumed too much wine to start now anyway ...

[11:45pm] I give up.  Back to the garden to clear away.  Satellite image shows that the cloud that was clearing from the West has suddenly reversed direction over London.

hehehehe, it's awful out there right now but looking at the satelite it should be clear in about an hour, so im setting up in a sec, although only a dslr on a mount for a widefield as I've only just got home from  work and im too tired to set everything up tonight and tommorrow night promisses to be really good and I don't want to wear myself out.


EDIT - just checked the moving satelite and yes, the cloud does seem to be doing something weird, sod it, im going to bed! :)

Two funny posts, Daniel & Mark. My heart was racing as I read your report, Mark, I was getting more excited as I read it through!

I always was cheap to take out!
