Jupiter tomorrow morning 19th March

[asimov (John)]

Conditions here are 'less than favorable' shall we say, but I've noticed the more I don't care, the better the conditions are getting! I'm upgrading it from 4/10 to 6/10 in a half hour. Hmmmm.

[matt]

72% humidity and only 4 degrees separating dewpoint from current temp.

Gonna be a moist ol' night, methinks

[asimov (John)]

Not worth setting up Matt?

[davidpretorius]

scope out and cooling with the peltiers and a different fan set up.

finder covered and ep's and toucam covered.

[asimov (John)]

Scope out & not bothering about cooldown..(refractor) seeing is 7.5/10 & rising...& I don't care....

Just a casual/walk in the park with not a care in the world 2000 framer on saturn me thinks...

weather gods...

[matt]

shaping up as a dud, asi.

but i'll hang in there.

got another 5 hours or so before we declare it a write-off

[asimov (John)]

True Matt, true....Never know your luck, could turn for the better in your area, likely or not?

[asimov (John)]

Saturn is doing what I call the famous '9-10/10 seeing condition slow-waltz' on the laptop.

The only problem being the dreaded red halo on all limbs has raised it's damned ugly head. Got 6000 frames at different settings in three AV's. Just to get my eye in for joop of course..

[matt]

a total cloud-out here. Still holding out for a change of luck

[davidpretorius]

3.30am: cloud from horizon to horizon, can't even see the moon
3.45am: a break appearing on the horizon

see i told you: positive thinking!!!
