Cloudy weather doesn't bother Grasshoppers!

I had been hoping that the weather would improve and that the clouds would roll away but this is reality and the weather gods are not playing ball tonight. This is one of the many problems that people face when trying to do astrophotography. Light pollution, cloudy weather. So what to do?

Here's a photo of a grasshopper that I took the other day. It's bright and colourful and if you can just imagine the sound of many crickets chirping away then you will know what it feels like to be me right now.

It's a pretty little thing and bounced around the garden pursued by my grandson. It had not a care in the world about missing the Perseid meteor shower which was happening tonight.

So what do you do when plans go wrong? Do you quit and give up? Or do you say to yourself.

Tomorrow is another day and the clouds may roll away?

Hope someone out there has better conditions for tonight's event. Good luck to you all and have fun. There is always tomorrow night! :)
