Boring, cloudy full Moon nights in Sydney

Who ever said that cloudy full Moon nights in light polluted cities were boring?

Hahaha cool!! I do love a good timelapse

A few months ago at a Snake Valley Club Night (about two hours out of Melbourne, new moon, but got rather cloudy), one of our number had set up a timelapse. We got so distracted light painting and generally being idiots and watching ourselves back on the laptop that we didn't notice the clouds had rolled away and it was back to great viewing conditions!

Nice timelapse!
Like the look of your observatory. Any problems with leaks?

How 'bout a few pics

Thanks

Thank you. Yes, I must compile and post a small album of my tin garden shed observatory. The total cost was under $2K and it never leaks. It has withstood many storms and high winds. It could quiet comfortably house a 12 inch telescope, possibly larger if the tube is short.

Best wishes, Murray
