Reply To: Is ANYONE getting clear nights any more?

I also have been bemoaning the dearth of clear skies this year here in north Essex (as family and friends can testify!). However, I took a sideways view. I had been using an astro modified DSLR but was gifted an ASI585MC for Christmas and began using that for gathering Lunar images, when possible, which takes far less clear sky time than do DSOs – a whole new interest for me. And having observed that it was often clear all day then cloudy as soon as darkness fell, I also bought a solar filter for my Newtonian reflector, and started imaging the Sun, which also needs only a few clear minutes – another new interest. Every cloud has a silver lining, I suppose . . .
