Flippen 'ell Terry, if you stood still for too long you'd be frozen to the spot.

I'm with Terry, it was cold last night. Got down to 13' here, and I had to wear thongs on my feet. :rofl:

Cheers

Spare a thought for us Hobartians. It's always freezing cold of a night during winter. Except if it's cloudy of course.lol
Must be time to move somewhere warmer.....Coffs Harbour maybe

I was in Coffs Harbour in Jan when the comet was in the low west. A totally useless place to be from an astro point of view. You have mountains and daily cloud to the west. Stay in the cold. At least you can rug up vs the clouds.

The cold is easy to be out in if you have driven 200km to get to a dark sky and have only a tent to climb into. But I imagine that if I lived where you are terry, I would be taking a couple of nights off too. BRRRRRRRR!
