Seems we are all suffering the grey days and evenings. I do two weeks a month arvo shift and it's half one in the morning when I get home so a bit late to start dragging out the gear if the sky happens to be clear.
I have been known to just stand in the driveway in the dark and just look up for a half hour or just grab my small bino's I carry in the car, I'm on the edge of town and few street lights to bother me so it can be quite impressive some nights, a real shame I don't have a dome.
Think I better close in the back of the carport and fit a roll off roof
