With the breeze dying late this afternoon, I optimistically put the scope out to cool under an unexpectedly clear sky. The jetstream is still relatively quiescent and so hope welled for good seeing tonight.

Merely an hour later, I heard the pitter patter of a light shower on my tin roof. Sure enough, the 'scope was generously covered in rain drops. I brought it and and dried it off.

Now the decision: Radar shows more substantial showers blowing up from the Tweed region, despite the dry forecast. Should I put the scope back out? Will the showers dissipate or miss me?

Maybe. But only if my luck changes!
