		<title>The Weather &#8211; It Is WET!!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It has been raining here since about October, most frustrating &#8211; especially as my Weather Station seems very reluctant to measure any of it!

		<description><![CDATA[Another of my job requests from the Bradford Robotic Telescope has been completed recently, this time of Messier 31 in Andromeda.

		<title>Messier 27</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I submitted a job request on the Bradford Robotic Telescope ages a go and happened to remember this afternoon to check to see if it had been completed &#8211; it had been!
Exposure time was 120000 ms, filter used was an OIII and I used the Galaxy Telescope. I didn&#8217;t do any processing myself because I [...]]]></description>
