Sorry everybody, but I think we'd better call it quits

The rain has really set in for the day now, and I think that the chances of seeing anything at all tonight are now basically zero. This is a real shame, so I will look at my diary and try get get an alternative date for you as soon as possible...

It's really not looking good.

I'm seeing the advertised white cloud - the weather forecast seems fairly clear that it will stay with us all of today I'm afraid. Stay tuned, and I'll keep you posted, but it looks as if tonight will be a bit of a wash-out...
