It rained all day on the 5th, but the sky rather unexpectedly cleared in the evening.
When I returned from an evening with friends at about 00:30 am local time, I had some hopes I might be able to do some imagery. Back home on the lap-top I found out that I already had missed a good pass of IGS 1A, but might be able to catch Lacrosse 2 and one of the NOSS rockets later on in the night. So I set the alarm clock.
When I woke up at 3 am, the sky conditions were very dynamic. It changed from completely clear to overcast and back again in a matter of minutes. It was clear imaging would become a gamble.
I lost the gamble: cloud fields passing by just at the moments the satellites made their passes...
Weather prospects for the week to come do not look good. Dutch Weather realy sucks.....
