Looks like we could all be outside tonight!

Thing is, what subject do you choose when only out there once every 5 months.........................
It is healthier to be mutton dressed as lamb, than mutton dressed as mutton!

Why not split the sky up into many pieces and we can all do our very own complete sky scan.
with every one concentrating on their own piece of the sky:cheesy:

That way we can spend the next 5 cloudy months, looking through the whole sky.
:lol:

I wouldn't realy worry though, its probably going to be cloudy anyway,
Since when have the met office ever managed to  corectly predict the weather.

Just look at the 1987 gales, couldn't get that one further from the truth.

Im off to Ashdown forest tonight to do some imaging with the Mid kent AS, so fingers crossed I might actually get one of those objects I can't see at all tonight, might try for cocoon again, which has to be the most dissapointing image I've taken to date, over 2 hours of data and nothing but a red smudge!

Fay - looks like there is an awful lot of cloud up there to me... :-(

Daniel

According to the Met Office, that'll sweep aside by tonight :O) http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/weather/uk/se/se_forecast_irsat.html

Joking aside with the met office, they tend to be pretty accurate up to about 2 days In advance

Daniel,

Good luck with the Cocoon.  It'll be interesting to compare ...

Daniel

I've got a feeling there won't be much of a comparison, my last attempt was a smudge, and Im not sure that was ALL because of the light polution
