What does the sky look like?
« on: 2011 March 06 17:49:13 »
Can someone please remind me what it's like to see something other than clouds? I thought I was starting to get the hang of using PI to process data and have been unable to gather any new data to practice with and now I've run out of old data worth revisiting......

Thanks for listening.

Why don't you get data from Hubble or Spitzer?

Because if I did that I'd never be happy with data I collect with my own gear!   :surprised:

It looks grey! I guess I've had my allotment of clear 'moonless' sky for the month. Not expecting any more clearing until say next Wednesday or Thursday, you know....basically when the moon is full! I'll just have to wear sunglasses and pretend it's dark and try and find something I can do narrowband on! Or at least something reasonably bright and far away from you know who!  8)
