It just ain't fair!

Got dark by about 9pm. At 9:15 the first clouds began to appear. By 9:30pm I was playing dodgems. All over by 10:30pm - 10/10 cloud cover.

Wah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I did manage a few videos of Jupiter but have yet to look at these. Knowing my luck, they're probably either too dark, too bright or out of focus! Do I sound depressed?

When I first decided to get a scope, I bought my wife a new sewing machine so she could take up quilting. I know who got the better deal. While my wife sits happily sewing, I'm staring out the window at the custard skies or trying to read pretty picture-books about the things I should be seeing through my scope.

I'm a bit too old to start a new life in the country Kev, but gee, it would be nice.
