Anybody alive out there?

So far the winter has been brilliant for astronomy, cold but brilliant!
There have been spells of exceptional skies.
Has anybody been out looking at anything of interest?
Surely all these clear skies have not gone to waste....

:)Hi Bill , Sassenach from West Yorkshire here. The weather has not been as clear down our neck of the woods in West Yorkshire. It's a while since I have crossed the Border now though some of my mates make it several times a year. The sun is kicking off a bit now so with some CMEs we may be in with a chance of an aurora . The Alomar NLC camera has displays on a regular basis. Very , very quiet on here !
Best Wishes,
Len E

Hi Len,
Good to see you on here too!
I think this has been the best winter I've seen for years!
With the winds switching to a more easterly direction we've been on the leeward side of the country for a change and since Christmas there have been some cracking spells. It's actually a bit un-nerving as I'm used to almost complete cloud cover with heavy rain and gales through the winter.
Racking up hundreds of meteors on the system but the decline in sporadic flux is really noticeable given this chance of more regular clear skies.
Any plans to attend the IMC in Armagh in September?
cheers,
Bill.

Hi Bill , I hope to make it to the IMO meet this year. Car/ferry ? or fly and public transport ? I will probably go for the second option so I can enjoy a Guinness or two . The sun is active again so I hope it keeps it up. Any auroral display would be great . Oooh and clear sky for the NLC season (that will have put the mockers on that now).
