Anybody had any of those experiences recently where all you can say is '...typical'?
Case in point. I'm staying down with my folks for a few days in Devon, where there isn't much light pollution. My father has an astronomical telescope and I'm a bit of a stargazer on occasion. I look out of the window (go out for a cigarette) and the sky is absolutely clear. I see if Dad wants to get the telescope out and set it up but first, I have to go and do something else that takes twenty minutes or so.
Get outside with the telescope and the sky has gone from clear to utterly overcast.
...typical.
I'm currently outside keeping my eye to the heavens for any glimpse that the sky will clear. It has cleared slightly... holding on.
