Well, things do change quickly in astro, eh!

With the cloud coming in, my son asked me to read with him for a while. I threw a towel over the scope and spent an hour with him. When I came back out, holy dooly! Clear again! Must have been the same lucky streak of clear sky as you had Martin and David

After my whinge, what a lovely sky. Seeing not quite as good as yours, David. I settled on 270X for my sketch of the Moon - 400X didn't show more as the seeing wasn't quite there for it.

Spent a lovely three hours with Luna. Though one thing does concern me about this Intes Mak - my gosh I can see so much finer detail with it than I've ever seen before on the ol' Moon!

Oh well, that's astro. Think the Sky Gods have pulled a fast one on you by throwing clouds your way, and they were only having a pull of my leg to see if they could get a rise out of me. But after their little joke, I was then treated to a gorgeous sky

Jeremy, to get a feel for Wales and the UK's weather, I just need to go to Melbourne...

Great, but sadistic, hobby...

Alex.
