Hey Guy's

Whats the story for the weekend? Saturday is looking pretty good,(but what do I know, I thought I had a dark sky site. HA HA).
Looking forward to the SAC Txt Alert.

Cheers Roy

Well, looking at the Atlantic pressure charts,
There is a High Pressure Anti-Cyclone moving over us and seems to be
pulling Artic air down.
It's slow moving also and with the lack of interfering systems it looks like it will
clear on Sat night. The isobars are wide apart
also so winds will be light.
Not as mild as last week. Under clear skies
the air temps will be low - ground fog will be
a potential problem.
I'd suggest Boher as I don't think
It's a safe enough bet for the Burren.
I'm not around thus weekend.

so Roy did you go out observing on the night ?

OH YA.

I got the most amazing images of the moon from about 8:30pm to 10:15pm I studied it from top to bottom and left to right and made a full report of all the Craters and Mares(Seas) I could recognize on my Obsevation log book. Also got some beautiful images of Jupiter and the transition of Europa passing in front of its mother Jupiter at 10:50pm. You could clearly see the shadow of it as it passed Jupiter.(it gave me chills).

Cheers Roy
