It was supposed to be clear tonight!

[davidpretorius]

I saw the IIS this morning at 4:10 am,right over the top.....awesome

then the clouds came in!

[erick (Eric)]

"Ah feel gudddd!"

Rub it in time!

I have Sat/Sun/Mon nights away with scope under dark skies!

Here is the forecast.

A bit of wind, but it looks good!

[erick (Eric)]

That'll teach me for the:-

Three nights away. First night - somewhat annoying cloud. Second night - quite annoying cloud. Third night - extremely annoying cloud!

Still, the cloud breaks and nightime warmth (no dew) were better than nothing and I saw several new target stars, clusters and galaxies!

^^ over my last 3 obs sessions - it was perfect clear during the day only to have cloud move in at sunset and continually interrupt me Then miraculously at sunrise, everythign disappears only to return at sunset again

[Alchemy (Clive)]

currently clear skies ... just 41.1 deg and a bit blowy outside..... maybee tonight ?

[§AB]

looks perfectly clear - Im definately going out, will be rather humid I think. Change came through here about 2 hours ago but still struggling to fall below 30ºC, but thats what its like when you're 20km from the bay.

[hilltop hoods]

hey man its ok but if you went to lock at the moon its in the might left ok man hope it works for you

[erick (Eric)]

I did sit up waiting for the Moon last night - terminator approaching Plato and Alpine valley. Nope! Too much heavy cloud. That was it - packed up!

[Alchemy (Clive)]

still clear here but temp at 33.7 its a small and slow change , still that might be ok , i checked the jetstream earlier and it didnt look too bad... time will tell

[§AB]

Yer the temp is in no hurry to drop here either. 29ºC and humid. Hopefully dew won't be an issue later on but my southern horizon is now quite hazy.

As for the Jetstream, yeah I agree it doesnt look like a big one. Last night stars were only slightly twinkling.

[goober (Doug)]

I'll head out tonight - probably backyard.

[§AB]

Im really tired but I'm busting to try my new TV Barlows and Powermate

[§AB]

last night was supposed to be nice and clear, but as usual a bloody fugly deck of that infamous and horrible low level stratus tripe moved in just in time to ruin any chance of astronomy, and only now it all cleared off

oh well, lets see what tonight has to offer. However no doubt it'll be windy this time

[ving (David)]

2 days of marsy goodness in one week!

[Outbackmanyep]

I spent 6 days in Lightning ridge, only 1 out of 6 was cloudy!
I reckon if you want clear skies GO WEST!!!!!!!

1 drawback though, its very wet out there, and mosquito's eat you alive!!!!!

[§AB]

bah! The mosquitos eat me alive here! Last time i was out I reckon I got bitten atleast 25 times.
