Mist patches around southern UK

Although my imaging is going OK tonight, I can see many mist patches around
the southern coastal regions, moving along. One just crossed my FOV! Its a
case of looking for the clear patches and pointing accordingly!

and the flight path out of Heathrow tonight is right over Southampton. One
just went right past M109, made a nice effect on the image!

Lilian

and another plane, this time past M106!

Yes, I thought that I noticed this. Fortunately by chance none has crossed my
focal plane......

Perfect tracking ....... my best ever. Could do with a network cable though,
to save the walking backwards and forwards ;-)

Similar in S Wales too.

Mist patch stopped me about 20.15 after only 30 mins obs. with scope.
Clared later and I was able to see Jupiter with one moon via 8x40 bins.
(about 23:00).

On checking later with SNBY I think it may have been Io and Europa in close
prox but showing as one in low mag. I think transparency was pretty good
once mist passed on!

Mist? I wish!

I was forced to stop at 10pm last night, the fog rolled in very heavily - by
10:30pm visibility was down to about 100ft and the moon was reduced to a
faint glow

Tonight is looking much better tho

When I was "testing" my new camera the other night I had sirius centered
for a 30 second shot and a plane went _right_ across it. Interesting effect
of the planes lights intersecting such a bright object.

if it hadn't been random it could've been art ....

I was able to continue until after 1am before mist took over. Tonight I can
see the fog/mist in Selsey but Southampton is currently clear for a few
hours... Unfortunately I can see the mist in Selsey is going to increase
from the east. Still, at least you have Patrick to keep you company!

Southampton is now getting covered in the coastal mist/fog as well. Time to
do darks/bias..... and finish. It will only get worse because the stuff is
coming in off the channel.
