A little known fact....

[h0ughy]

that newcastle over the past 365 days has experienced only 20% of those days cloudfree or less than 1/8th :P

[jjjnettie]

:( I hope we can put on some clear skies for you for Astrofest.
i'm going stir crazy up here atm.

[strongmanmike]

Oh man, it drove me spare :cloudy: :stupid: :nerd:

Better here in Canberra but although it is quite dark at Wallaroo and I get more clear nights my new site is a little windy..something that never plagued me in my mums backyard in New Lambton :doh:

20% clear huh?...as I said to you, we need to move to the Andes then it would be 20% cloudy (or less!) and 80% clear...ah sigh...just imagine :sadeyes:

[allan gould]

+1 here too
Already dying for Astrofest

[Ausrock]

No, you're kidding me? :D

Mate, I'm not all that far from you and still trying to learn my EQ6/C9.25 setup..........having to wait weeks between suitable nights doesn't make it easy :(.

[Sarge]

Here is another better known fact. We have one enterprising member Bloodhound31 who kills boredom by building things.:thumbsup:

The other 11000 odd members kill boredom by complaining about the weather:lol::lol:

Barry;)

Not this summer though, I think here it's been more like 20% of days with more than 1/8th cloud cover :P:thumbsup:

[clive milne]

So you have noticed a change in the climate Sab?

[pgc hunter]

Yes. Between January and now, global warming has turned Melbourne into the United Arab Emirates.

[clive milne]

For those of us who have been around long enough, the change really began in 1976.... but there you go.

Hmmm, David, I hope it all comes together, if only we could be in control.
