Overcast. Disgusting maritime clag backed up against the Great Dividing Range like an overflowing toilet. Flat out 8/8 overcast. Not even Skippysky predicted this insane filth, and in my experience, Skippysky's cloud forecasts are accurate, a lot better than the Weatherzone app on my phone. Beer and wine flowing like the Niagara Falls. I'm ready to cry, I should cry because then I can harvest my tears .... easiest free booze ever.

The updated trollcast now says showers for the weekend, downgraded from "sunny".

I spoke too soon... not to rub salt into tender wounds, but we ended up having a pretty clear night up here last night, so I managed to get my new toys to play nicely enough for a test run and do my first LRGB image. Good times!

I purchased my first telescope Wednesday last week (10" Dob)... In regional Victoria I've had one day to use it so far. Every other day has been severely overcast!

Which part of regional vic are you in?

Looks like tonight might be the night finally. Can actually see the sun. My nausea is starting to fade.

Woke up to a cold southerly this morning, sky has cleared.
I'm not saying no more, just keeping my fingers crossed but don't tell anyone.
