May 9-15 2010 not conducive to a healthy lifestyle

I don’t know if anyone has really been paying attention to the sky’s over them in the past week – for me it has been clear and with a few fog affected mornings/evenings and the moon waning through to a crescent moon late in the mornings to a new moon by Friday. I have been normally out imaging from after astronomical twilight to midnight or later then up at 6 to go to work etc all of last week; I was actually looking forward to a break for mother’s day as the forecast was for rain/cloud on Sunday – that did not happen. So I was out imaging again last night and I decided to target one object for this whole week when I can - the target --> Centaurus A. I have involvement with the kids Tuesday night and Wednesday night which may put a dent in the collection quota but so far I have just on 7 hours of data. We are forecast clear skies until the weekend with frosts on Thursday and Friday. I hope that after all of the effort it will pay off for a lack of sleep for the week, if not I must be very sick puppy treating myself like that
