Hey Erick, That's tough mate, I can't remember the last time I was out. To be fair though, there were quite a few clear nights over the last 2 weeks, but I was doing nightshift at work so couldnt take advantage of those. Unfortunately, I've been laid off from my job, so that just compounds my foul mood atm.

I cleared this entire coming weekend in my diary many weeks ago and, according to the forecast, I'll be sitting at home yet again.

This weekend looks like rubbish, although Friday and Saturday have a faint hope (looking at weather charts with northerly winds forecasted - but then again look what happened during these last few days of northerly winds... )

But, of course, some mornings when I get up early to go to work have been beautiful lately - almost balmy weather and clear skies. Ah well! I take a deep breath and keep tinkering with the astro gear in the garage!

It seems many mornings over the past few weeks have been surprisingly clear, but I always wake up too late (as dawn begins), I could've got some moon and Mars observing in with the 4.5" newt. I rarely observe the moon and now I have an urge to view it!
One day, it'll be clear....one day....
