Thanks very much Veronica, its a real pity you were clouded out, the weather was supposed to be pretty much cloudy for here but as usual the sky misbehaved and it was mostly clear, we seem to get alot of clear nights over Maghera. I was suprised just how dark the sky was over head, the stretch in the nights is gaining momentum and when the sky gets a littke bit darker soon i hope to get back to comet hunting in a big way.
John i got your text last night, did it stay cloudy with you?
Clear skies!

Hi Jonathan
Glad you seen it as it was a real nice one. Yes the weather has been alot better than forecast. Last night (6-7th) the sky was clear and beautifuly dark and transparent, clearly the best night of the summer. I was in a car drving down the Glenshane pass when i seen yet another NLC display, it looked a real beauty with bright glowing white and blue bands and a giant circular structure peaking out behind cloud banks. I took plenty of images but the focus was poor so i binned most of them. When i arrived home my sister said that she had spotted them 2 hours ago which was really cool...i have sickended her so much by pointing them out on many different nights that shes now become an expert at spotting even the really faint ones lol
My internet hasnt been working for the last 20 hours so i have had to check the forum from the libary.
Clear skies all
