Yeh I know what you mean Chris. I'm getting a thrill out of nebula hunting. We have seen a few in the last week or so, I was a little disappointed as I was expecting to see lots of brilliant colours (like you see in the photo's) but I think most of the thrill also is finding them.
As I thought I was getting today off I thought I'd set the alarm for 4am this morning to have another look at Jupiter and have a look at Mars (the neighbours 2storey house got in the way of Mars) before sun came up. Also wanted to have a look for the Great Andromeda but no our roof was in the way . Also I wanted to have a gander at the Orion Nebula. That's a must see, I wasn't expecting something so cool. It was the best. I finally got to see some colour, it wasn't very bright but I could see the greenish tinge in it and it's so wide and big. It's just totally amazing. Well I thought so anyway.
And yeh the clouds are visiting us again now for about a week
