Hi Mark,
Is it a new scope? or Has there been a recent purchase?
We all know that new toys are a sure fire trigger for rain.

Cheers

Nah, we don't have water views yet. It'll take quite a few more metres of rain to achieve that.

I first bought a Bahtinov mask and then two new filters. It is probably my fault. It took me two weeks even to see a bright star and test the Bahtinov mask, and then the rain started.

Dry as a bone here, Dust for a lawn, Crops all failed, sunburned sheep, dead birds on the ground, no water to waste. GOD PLEASE SEND US RAIN. Wimmera Victoria

P.s At lest the sky is clear at night. I am an optimist.
