Yep, that's a looooooooooooong cloud band.

And that swirly bit west to southwest of Tassie is what is heading to us in Victoria, full of storms and snow :sadeyes:

I don't think there will be many clear sky areas in Australia for a few days.

[SkyViking]

And here I thought NZ was the 'land of the long white cloud'... ;)

WILL YOU PEOPLE PLEASE QUIT BUYING NEW GEAR.
So those of us who have already bought new gear, get a chance to use it?

[multiweb]

Sydney's alright though for tomorrow and Thursday so fa. :P The clouds follow the jetstream path between Newcastle and Brisbane. We're caught in an anomaly(?) on the edge which is a swirl of clear like an eye. :thumbsup:

[Ric]

My weather stations says that the cloud base is down to 143 metres with possible showers.

I be lucky if the Sun even comes out today.

[bobson]

One STL11K, One GSO RC12 and fixed my PME. That should equate to 12 months of cloud I reckon. Oh well time for lots of sleep. Really lareg cloud that one. Just looking outside at our view across the valley and there is rain falling in the valley. It is winter afterall.:)

[ving]

dont look at me! I sold my telescope! :P

[oosh]

Must've been those binos I just bought... sorry JJJ! :confused2:

[renormalised]

I'm glad they don't have a 24" GSO RC. You'd have gotten that instead and we'd all have to move up to the High Country because the rest of Oz would be under water!!!:):P

[jjjnettie]

:D Calsky sent me another alert this afternoon for a ISS / Solar transit for the 12th of June. Woot woot

[Jen]

[shelltree]

Just pre-warning you all, it may get cloudier after today... :whistle:

[jjjnettie]

what have you gone and done Shelley??

[shelltree]

Ordering myself some binos today :D

[Octane]

So you can determine what type of cloud is coming in the distance?

Nice one, Shelly!

[AstralTraveller]

pffft ... that scarsely rates a sun-shower. :P Or are they Oberwerks??

[jjjnettie]

:rofl: you crack me up H

I'm not blaming it all on you Shel, I know someone else who is taking delivery, today, of some astro gear (losmandy) and accessories.

So we've got fingers of accusation being pointed and guilty hands being raised.
Badly done everyone, badly done indeed.
tsk tsk tsk

[oosh]

My binos were supposed to come today, what does that mean for the weather?

[shelltree]

Tsk Tsk indeed! I've only contributed a sun shower :p I will indeed be able to see many clouds through my new binos :sadeyes: Having observing withdrawals already... No camping and stargazing this weekend :(

[oosh]

:( Weather can change! Then we'll jump outside with the new binos ;)

[jjjnettie]

LOL I had a message on my answering machine this afternoon, letting me know my new tripod I ordered, is in, ready for pick up. LOL

[oosh]

Perhaps not :sadeyes: I suppose everyone should get their spending out of the way while it's already ruined though ;D
