Default Fog

I setup in the garden last night thinking it was going to be clear,
the sky looked good at 6:00pm (apart from the bright moon) and the
forcast was reasonable. It went hazy at about 8:00pm so I went inside
for a cup of tea and to wait half an hour to see if it clears. I came
outside and I could barely see the scope for fog! Right, I thought
seeing as how everything was setup I may as well take a few flat
frames with the CCD camera (fog is good for that - nice, even
illumination) and also a few dark frames. So I'm sat there with the
scope, in the dark, in the fog, and my neighbour comes out and looks
at me. I smile and say 'evenin... He just mumbles something and
retires indoors shaking his head. So I guess I'm labelled a nutter for
certain now.
