Sunday morning, I crawl out of bed at 4 am, look out the window, say 'Thank God it's cloudy', go back inside, take two paracetamol tablets, drink a litre of water and crawl back into bed.
The bottle and a half of wine consumed a few hours earlier had nothing to do with it....
OK, this morning, up at 4 and it's a clear sky. Pack the car, head to the nearby park (which has a hill with clear horizon views), get out of the car - ITS SO DAMN COLD! It's suppose to be 36 C today! Fortunatly I found a jumper in the back of the car.
I set up the 'scope, just putting the camera on and glance up up Saturn and the moon and see the ISS zipping through - damn, that would have made a great photo...
So, where it Mercury, Mars, Jupiter......
Hmmm... it's getting lighter and lighter..... And my ears have just about frozen off. The sun's up and nothing to be seen... Back to home and back in bed.
I'll try again tomorrow.
So, has anyone seen anything or am I wasting my time?
, before the rising sun stole away the view.
