Observations -24th May 2020

You're more than welcome Aubrey, and very many thanks for pointing me towards the GAIA information. I'll have a look there too.

On a related note, I was all set-up last night to do some observing, but by the time I went out the clouds blocked out the stars : (

Maybe tonight?

All the best,

Darren.

Ha Ha, Darren!
I was nearly setting up my own scope after sunset too on Saturday night!
I had been talking to a swimming friend of mine on the phone.
And I wandered out into the back garden and couldn't help noticing we had a clear sky.

But as soon as I had finished the phone call, the high clouds covered most of the sky. Boo Hoo!

The latest sunset is coming up very soon.
Tonight the Sun sets at 21.54.

And yes! There does seem to clear skies tonight Sunday.
But it might be the only clear night of the coming week!

Clear skies to all,

Aubrey.

100% overcast here.
No observing tonight Sunday 14th June.
Will check about Monday night.

Aubrey.

Likewise. I've just come in from the back garden, and will have to settle for an early night. Hopefully, I'll get a clear sky as a birthday present tomorrow.

Clear skies,

Darren.

According to timeanddate.com, sunset in Limerick is at 22.02 every evening from the 20th to the 28th. I had been under the impression that the latest sunset was about the 15th June, with the earlier sunrises contributing to the longest day on the 21st. However it seems the earliest sunrises are from the 11th to the 22nd, every day at 5.10. Interesting if a little confusing.
