Ok, in anticipation of a great few days, here is a chance for all you weather prognosticators to do your thing.

Please don't post links to other sites that require registration to access info, screen shots will do.

So far BOM has a somewhat favourable​ outlook.

Hard to tell still but Friday night looks the best so far with excellent seeing. Been keeping an eye on it for the past week or so and it's been changing. Wednesday and Thursday looked alright until today. 2 out of 3 would be great. http://www.metvis.com.au/cfn/wiruna/

'Twas guaranteed to be great the one year I can't make it :mad2: :lol:

Hope everyone has a great time :thumbsup:

Thursday (http://www.metvis.com.au/cfn/wiruna/) is looking better on the latest update so we might get Thursday and Friday clear now. Wednesday still only half a night. Saturday onwards is cloudy.
Seeing conditions for Friday night look exceptionaly good.

Skippy is confirming your prognosis for Thurs night.

Won't get too cold either by the look of it, maybe 5.

You're still looking at Skippy? :shrug: The GFS model says it's clear all week... :help:

[tlgerdes]

Clear through till Saturday night.

Cloud Free Night indicates the GFS model has it being clear all three nights, while the ACCESS-R model has only Thursday night 100% clear with Fri and Sat showing varying degree of cloud, mostly high :shrug: either way, quite confident of some significant clear observing regardless.

Anyway....Staaaaaaaaaaaaar Paaaaaaaaaaaarty Tiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiime :cheers: :D

I was going to post something about how great the skies will be....

What stopped you?


Don't listen to Hobo Sidonio, he wants clouds to hide his inebriation.

It will be clear, there will be wine and merriment. It's Star Party time!

I gave up on anything short of Eyeball Prediction (very short range prediction model) a long time ago.

The skies and party were excellent. Good seeing and clear enough to get plenty of data over 4 nights. One for the books. I think better than last year.
