The long range forecast is showing settled weather coming in towards the end of this week. Hopefully we can get some clear skies for Friday night but saturday is looking good at the moment.
The start of this week we are in for wind, rain on Tuesday, cloudy showers wednesday and then settling for end of week. Lets see how things pan out. Maybe some more people would be interested in meeting up?

Is this open to anyone, or EAAS Members only? I'd be up for it if it is an Open night.

If the weather holds up im game as well, time to get the winter woolies out though i think. Really was clear last night, surprising how bright mars was. Getting pretty close to the pleaides as well should make a good phoro!

I was checking the met office site - according to them best chances for a clear night up to Friday is Friday itself

I think we could be doing this all week Neill :-)
Forecast has changed so Friday evening looks to be our best chance now.

Hi guys,
Lovely clear morning today - any further info on an observing session this weekend? Anyone seen a weather forecast ? Was checking met office and they are forecasting clear nights for the next 5 nights - that might be optimistic, metcheck has saturday as the best prospect. Time will tell

Tonight, Thursday looks to be hampered by high level cloud. Saturday evening, there may be a break for 6 hours for some observing. Metcheck astro forecast will give details tomorrow.
