  Thank you ,the lighting ,well if you say so, Mrs List no I was up.but had already put my gear away and reset the alarm,but also it was going behind the clouds at times. If I got my scope out the moon would have hid up again,but thank you all for telling and geting back to me .It is a great pass time,to see it all close up and observethe night sky,no two nights are the same,so you see it and it will never be seen again,and seeing the moon and what is on it must say it is great,cold this time of the year,but I have my bunker with heating in it and a mess tin of hot beans is always close by. Anyway what was you up to at 0200hrs in the morning. ?

  ha ha ha I cant sleep as certain someone is keeping me awake :) and in my dining room i have got a big window with a backdoor so I can sit back and watch out behind the glas too. I had a nice hot lemon water to keep me warm and cosy.
  I sat there for quite some time.
  I am sure the grapevines are working??

  Thank you, yes I am
  They helped me to setup sometime ago,I am going to join them at some point just have not got around to doing it.
  I hope when I pack up my parish dutys sometime nextyear,I will have more time.
  I was up at 0315hrs this morning and it was a great nightsky the moon was out and the light we are geting from it at this time means we do not need road lights on you can see just by the moonlight.
  I will do a setup later in the day for tonight but it does look like our best time to look is about 0400hrs.We are off for afew hrs to Deal again a town we both like to go to.
  For the first time in weeks we have no Hos/appointments over the next 8days so we are going to make the best of it.
  Please keep posting.My wife allset ready to go to Germany only wish I was going to.

  awwhhh briliant. I sat in the dining room on and off last night and retired at 03.30 am
  Also noticed from my front window that bucklands workforce is well busy during the night. There is so much light on the horizon ... maybe i take a pic when its that bright again.
  
  I am sure your wife is going to enjoy her holiday and all the different things she is going to have.
