You have to be, very thick skinned, to be an amateur astronomer in this country. I haven't done any visual astronomy or astro imaging, since the beginning of the month. We had a few clear spells at the end of January, and into early February. But since that time. I have not seen a totally cloud free sky.
This evening was supposed to have been, our society observing, session on Teggs Nose. That has been called off, or I should say rained off. Because of the wind and rain. It's driving me mad.
Strom Doris, whizzed by last week. Sadly she took one young victim's life, who was in the wrong place, at the wrong time. Very sad indeed.
Thankfully. Where I work and live. We had no damage. Although there were, at times. When I wondered.
Should be working under all that glass at Stocks Lane. The environmental computer, recorded a gust of 56 mph at one point.
I hope the Lovell telescope wasn't damaged during the storms!
On Wednesday we move into Meteorological Spring. with the arrival of- St Davids day, or dydd dewi sant .
I hope with the onset of March, things might begin to calm down, and we all have some fine, dry weather.
Galaxy season is now just around the corner. And I want to photograph, but also view.
Some of those distant worlds. I also want to begin observing "J" in Virgo and image him too.
We also have some comets visible in the telescope, and binoculars. These ghost's of the solar system have travelled far, to be with us. So it would be a shame to miss them.
Have you read about the discovery of another planetary system, that is similar to our own.
39 lyrs distant with an earth sized planet, in the group. Even if we did eventually find evidence of water and life. It would be very meaningless. At that distance.
I am a strong believer that life is very rare. And to imagine an Earth like planet, in orbit, around a "Red Dwarf" that may or may not support life. I find very difficult to get my head around.
Of Course, there has not been any mention of any thing like that.
But it must be a very strange world to live on if there were.
