This new moon we have had a run of lovely sunny days down here in Colac, and each evening promises to be nice and clear, and 4 nights so far I have set up, collimated, aligned the Argo, done a couple of obs and then bam! clouds. Next morning dawns lovely and clear and we do it all again.
Luckily I have had 2 nights when I made some decnt obs, last night knocked over about 20 new objects, but tonight it happened again. After setup, had a look at Comet Siding Spring and did one object in Phoenix (NGC7689), looked up after writing a note on 7689 and it was clouded over solid.

Join the club Malcolm; I haven't got an image in over 10 weeks. Got all set up three times during that period, only for the same thing to happen to me as happened to you.

It's always the same old story in this horrible climate. THe forecast was for sunshine/clear skies every day this last week, but in reality only ONE night was usable and yesterday was flat-out overcast and cold, contrary to the forecast

Tonight looks good, but lots of remnant haze from this fog crud. Probably will get a nice deck of high cloud moving in right on sunset like always anyway

This image is from yesterday. FFS

After 2-3 months of virtually total cloud-out (except full Moons of course), we've had two weeks of cracker skies here, go figure. Not much rain though right through winter and a very very dry August.

I'm lovin' it but looking forward to the Moon waxing so I can get some sleep...

Cheers -

Looks like tonight is a goer. Going to attack some Planetaries in Sag/Sco and Aql.

And the weekend was looking so nice here... damn clouds everywhere at the moment and skippysky isn't looking good.
