    Default Looks Like Clear Skies Tonight



    Who is going out tonight? I will bring out my new scope and the SkyProdigy 6 with the new data entry for alignment. We'll see if Celestron gave me the right info, hopefully it will align right this time instead of me tweaking it. I will most likely just checking out the new scope for alignment and most likely the moon, unless I can see something else with it. Same goes for the SkyProdigy 6. So who else will be going out tonight?

    Looks nice for me, but with isolated thunderstorms. My luck, I'll get washed out.

    I'm planning on an early morning outing, not too good until after midnight.
    Good Luck

    EDIT: All my neighbors have their lights on and the ones next door are having a party with all their lights on and all their cars lined up on our street. What a bunch of kill joys.

    Been pretty cloudy today, doesn't look too promising tonight either. Hoping my misfortune translates to someone else's good luck!

    It was going pretty good for a couple of hours, then the clouds started coming in. I saw a bunch of double stars, and clusters. Still too much light where I've been going.

    No luck for me, it's cloudy all long weekend!

    That's how much luck goes! When I want to go out it is cloudy. When I'm busy, it's super clear out!
