I just came in because the moon is about to come up - and I'm tired. Visual observing here is awful without the moon as well. There were some clouds earlier but they have cleared. Hopefully this weather will hold out till tomorrow.

I feel for you Dave, it is so frustrating when this happens night after night, hang in there mate, you will be rewarded for your persistence one day, err night.
