Had an 18th Birthday party this afternoon at a local Pub, family and friends came back to our place, drinking, eating and playing guitar on our 3rd floor veranda...sun goes down, sky is perfectly clear..should I leave this merriment and drive out to the Obs..?..should I..?...look at wife...look up at sky...look back at wife...she has a smile and nods, "off you go dear, I'll look after this bunch"
Get 2Ltrs of beer from brewery downstairs, drive out, open up, boot up, get set, have a beer (Mmmm tastes goooood) start imaging.. seeing is excellent!
yaaay
...3 X 5min subs down...look out of the dome slit.. white stuff everywhere
...wait 20min, looks bad, pack up, drive home (small consolation - get hot dog with bacon and cheese on the way
)
Soooo, meah, this is 4 X 5min subs two of which were affected by cloud and just thought I'd post for fun, cause the detail suggests what could have been, eg. the fine thin dark wiggly lines, like a web, within the bright central section are rarely revealed... aaah sighhh
....
...when the seeing is good Murphy sends clouds...thanks you Irish git
