If you think all this cloud is bad for weather webcams you should try being an astro-photographer! Frustrating isn't the word for it! :mrgreen:

Sorry, no banner - weather station out of action. Hoping to be up and running with a new home-made one soon.

I can sympathise with you Gina because I had a 12" Newtonian reflector when I lived in Norwich 40 years ago. Had to sell it when I moved to the NW. :(

But when the clouds do part your skies must be quite spectacular.
Cheers,
Ray, Cheshire.

Yes, we do have pretty clear skies here when the clouds stay away Ray :) In fact there were gaps in the clouds last night and I managed to squeeze in a bit of imaging before the clouds covered the sky completely around 1am.
