Owe Both Met Office and BBC's websites are saying clear all night at the moment, so might even get a dark sky later on once the Moon goes!! Incidentally, have...
Yes, I'd just been out in the car and didn't notice any stars, these e-mails had me looking out the window again in case I'd temporarily gone blind. I was...
... I've just been on the M40. From the M42 junction all the way down to the A34 junction, the sky was crystal clear, and I know there are places up there...
yes it cleared up here after 10 ish. I had the 15" out but had major collimation issues as one of the bolts had come undone. Something that will have to be...
Yep, cleared up here by about 9ish. Sky bit misty though, plus moonlight of course. So went to bed after a short while out there, nice and clear by 4.00am, ...

Yes I woke up again about 4 and watched the meteors. I think it was a lot clearer than earlier but I was not going to take the scope out again. Oh for an...
The sky over NE Abingdon actually cleared by about 8pm and I went out for an hour at about 9.30 with my new Christmas present: 20 x 80 bins. Very pleased so...
Something I should have mentioned in my previous post - if you try the MeteoSat Eview & Fog & Cloud images the guide to what the colours mean is at the bottom...

Had a great night's observing, even given the very direct light pollution from a nearby streetlight and the neighbours' petawatt security light, which they ...
Yep, saw them too about 4.45pm. You need a clear sw horizon as they are very low. Mercury should get brighter over the next week, but both are easy to see in ...

Well it is a good thing you have been. If I made as many cockups as they do I would have lost my job years ago. Must be great get it wrong every day and it is...
Blimey. Talk about Grumpy Old Men. A slight exaggeration with 'get it wrong every day'. As I work outside, and have to keep an eye on the forecasts, I think...
In my guise as list moderator I visited the website for this list and discovered that certain messages sent between 27 Dec. and 4 Jan. had been diverted into a...
I eventually managed to circumvent the spam filter by giving my message a different title, and it posted, though perhaps no-one replied to it because the...
Bob, I started a draft to Owen and decided against it. I have too much salt on my shoulders to rise to those comments. Good will to all men etc. BTW - lovely...
