Move the Moon

I like to know the Moon phase if it is clear but when one sees the Moon getting darker (from the panel to the left) and then to look out the window how overcast it is.. a feeling of sadness washes over me .

Dam clouds ... I think I will have to spend the day visualising a clear sky for the weekend ...that should work ... please please go away clouds.

Mike dont move the Moon panel but if you could do something about the clouds that would be good .

I agree Alex, as soon as the Moon racks off, the clouds appear.

Mike can not have read this yet.. the clouds are still there .
Maybe the government should act... bring in a ban on all scope sales until the clouds go clear.
I see clear sky I see clear sky..ommmmmm

Leon there was a time up here that rain came with the full Moon but I am sure that has changed.

Speaking of rain and a full Moon..wasn't there a sailor's lament which went something like this.."Captain!!..Captain!!....a storm will be upon us sir..last night the Moon had a golden ring..and tonight no Moon we see!!"..or something along those lines....I think it came from an adventure novel back in my Primary School days...
And clouds should only come out in the daytime..except during Solar Eclipses of course!!!

I thought it was Al Gores fault bringing global warming into play but it seems these sailors have something to answer to also .

Well Mike has done it the clouds are going .. there are still some about but it should be clear enough to sort out the capture scope after the new focuser instalation. But something tells me it wont all be fun there are a few things to sort out.
