Hi Guys,

Well who would think, that the only time that a great Comet is about we get such terrible weather, in just one week i was lucky enough to see it and capture it in a time frame of about 5 mins.:sadeyes:

And when it all clears, the Comet will be gone, Murphys Law, i expect, or did someone buy something real expensive :whistle:

Cheers Leon.:thumbsup:

At least you have seen it :shrug:

As usual the skies will clear when the moon returns to the evening skies

Of Coarse Geoff, if you average it out we get about 3 nights a month of any decent skies.

And Ken, have you got those legs for that new aqusition of yours yet.

Cheers Leon

You hang in there too Leon. I mean literally 'Hang on'!!!! There is a massive wind storm blowing thru here right now and you'll cop it in about another 10-15 minutes!!!!!!

Lock everything down, it's a biggy!

That was my pet hate for almost every month last year. Very unproductive
not to mention an absolute pain in the behind. All I can say is your new
scope must not be far away.

Midday's sunny breaks turned sour. I just sat in the local park (parking area) in the car, binoculars at hand, hoping for the clouds to part. By 9:30, the rain had set in. :mad2:


And we even weren't doing all that brilliantly at the cricket! :(


I can only hope that tomorrow evening's forecast is realised - it may be our only chance for days to come. :prey:

Could not see it here as it was always cloudy. As soon as it disappeared it wasnt cloudy anymore and the sun was shining. Just typical!

That's what I thought, Terry. It's hard to find a clear southwesterly aspect in my neck of the woods but I made up my mind yesterday afternoon to go find such a spot in the late evening.

Ha, ha, ******, ha. Clouds 8 octers.

I might try again this afternoon, but then again, maybe not. Sheesh.
