Crap Weather

I am so sick of Winter, I have not had the scope out for at least two months and not imaged any planets for at least 3 months. Arrrggg. Got up the other morning and the sky was clear but the wind was blowing a gale. Please weather gods hear my plea and let me image Mars soon.

If people stop buying new astro gear for a while we should get a few clear nights and mornings.

Know what you mean. It's weird in the 'Gong too.

Night sky looks clear as crystal, scope comes out, sight up on the moon...

#%*!@ surface is virtually boiling away. Looking for nebulas and galaxies an utter waste of time unless one takes pleasure in looking at what seems like snot in the EP.

Might have to find another hobby.
