It has been nearly a month, Ice has an extension he hasn't use, I have a ir/uv filter i can't test.

What bugga has spent enough $$ to take two states out for a month.

cmon own up.

ANNNNNDD, the jetstream is nonexistant.

The seeing is fantastic, i saw jupiter last week thru the eyepiece for 20 seconds.

Thats it!!!

If i find out that the 16" GSO dob has been released in victoria and the boys have been secretly purchasing, then I will take out a loan for a titan mount just to get you bugga back!!!

I am so desparate that the scope went out at 4pm.

It is out cooling (probably at -4 degrees now), but as asi would say, stuff it!

Right, positive thinking..

RACK OFF CLOUDS AND FOG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yea i know what your saying, first clear night here for ages, did a couple of wide fields.
Had the hair dryer pumping plus a small fan blowing some wind around as the frost settled at 10pm, but it was clear for once, and that's what matters.
