and it looks like there is a band of thick
(probably snow filled)
could heading our way rapidly.
I'd say you've about an hour or so to try and catch it.

Best of luck!
I'm off to the Leaba!

Fair play to ya Tony. Isn't it great fun freezing your proverbials off in the hope that the clouds just *might* stay away long enough to allow you to see something.

Looks like the guys out west are having great fun according to the satellite pics.

What a night! Amazing clear skies all night. I have just come in after 8 hours of imaging in one session with two telescopes simultaneously. In fact the transparency seemed to improve even more the last two hours.
Even the R.H was 63% at 1700 hrs was hovering around 87% for the rest of the night. The temperature has been peaking at -4d C.
