Having cloudynights? Take a sip of coffee and let's chat about other things around us. From food to games, this is for all the off-topic chat.

Arief, how good is the cloud filter? Does it decrease the contrast and brightness of view?

We should change the topic already, today whole day haze is good, always below 40, very near our normal levels. But the clouds... sigh.

But we should be happy, at least clouds can move, the haze doesn't!

Hi Amin:

"You can use a simple all-sky map is known as a planisphere, or computer software to identify objects in the sky. There is S&T's Online Interactive Sky Chart, Stellarium, and other programs that can print custom sky-charts that show the sky at your location. You can reference the stars that you see to these charts and you'll be on your way to indentifying stars."

Hi,
I think the haze day is finally going to be over very soon.

Although it was still cloudy last night at 2am... I mean this morning, at least I saw Sirius shine brightly through the clouds :D

Hope weather will improve this weekend, so that I can bring my scope out for some "star light bath".... :P :P

Have a nice day.
