False alarm !
I checked just on dusk and could see clear sky past the bank of clouds which I noticed earlier, so bundled the scope into the car for a drive.
The transparancy was pretty ordinary with scattered high cloud which came and went, then a thick cover closed in at 11pm, which was my cue to pack up.
The fornax group was nowhere as impressive as last time i saw it.
So I got in about 2 hours of mediocre dso hunting this time.
Till next month....
