Just wondering if anyone's managing to rise to Bobby Manoo's photography challenge in last month's Sky This Month talk to take a photograph of the Alpine Valley (Vallis Alpes). Best viewing days are around now, apparently.

Thanks Andy, weather has been really bad, though 🙁 But will have my telescope at my window on the ready for those seldom gaps in the cloud.

Nope, not had a chance... was intent on trying on several occasions, but weather defeated me every time.

The storm force winds last night certainly don't help 🙂

I haven't been following the forecasts but the weather in SW Scotland hasn't been any better.

An umbrella and windbreak would be useful optional extras with telescope kit...
