I haven't seen a single star in the sky since Friday night really. Infact i haven't seen the sky since Friday night.

The weather for tonight was for clear skies. Guess its not the first time the weather people got it wrong.

Yup cloudy here too....

I got a few quick glimpses of the Moon earlier, but I doubt I'll be seeing much tonight.

Should be better further west. A strong thermal gradient means cloud is spilling in across the Irish sea. Unfortunately a more substantial moist airmass is now moving in from Wales so I don't think it's gonna get better further east.

In fairness to Met Eireann, Gerry Fleming mentioned on the weather after the 6 one news that this would happen. (Just after he said 'Hellooo there and aaa very gooood evening t'ya :wink: '

Regards and Clear Skies,

In fairness to Gerry, it was the BBC i was working off of. It broke for a bit and i had a few mins with Orion and saw lovely Sirius rising between the branches of the trees down the end of garden (would have made a nice pic if i was in the mood).
