I haven't observed at night for a while, it's just too hard at the moment with a 6 month old, a 3yr old and a 5yr old.. by the time they're in bed asleep I just couldn't be bothered staying up late outside because my wife obviously wants me to spend time with her.
I've been doing some early morning observing lately, catching Saturn, and a month or so ago, orion and the pleiades..
But now, even they're too high for me to catch - the sun is rising so damn early at the moment, the sky is blue at like 4:30am.. ain't no way i'm getting up at 3am! 3:40 is bad enough! and staying up until 2am just won't work when I have to go to work in the morning.
Daylight savings starts this weekend though, so the sky will be darker in the mornings again, looking forward to that so I can try and take some pics of Saturn and soon Jupiter and Mars.
