I see blue sky!

[iceman]

First time in 2 weeks, it's sunny - the sky is blue, the birds are singing.. A new lease of life around the house :)

Might even get some imaging done tonight! I'm getting withdrawals!

[Ingo]

I heard you guys got record rainfall :doh:

[[1ponders]]

Don't let it sucker you in Mike. Go with your gut feeling. ;)

[Ian Robinson]

OMG !!! what's that blue stuff and what is that big bright yellow thing ?????:eyepop:

Everyone around here has gone crazy with edgers and lawn mowers , and the local kids have gone absolutely nutz !!!!

Got the garage open and hopefully the slab will dry out today.

You could have told us earlier that you had so much rain, we would have come and got some. :lol: :lol:, there is none down here

leon :thumbsup:

Good freshes (floods) in the Hunter River don't happen too often ..they push all the little fish and prawns out of the river and the big biteys (sharks, jewfish) hang about near the walls to ambush them. .. and are always worth putting a big bait (a live yellowtail or mullet is best , of a frsh slab of oily fish or whole squid) onto a big (8/0 or 9/0) hook and having a lob from either Nobbys wall (The Flatrock or the Sharkhole) , or from Stockton wall near the beacon or from the Lion's Park.



It's high tide at midnight .... two guesses where this jewie fisherman is likely to be tonight ....

[renormalised]

Clear skies??... taking images of eta Carina tonight??:P:D

[Garyh]

blue skies here today as well :)
and I managed to get the pc running as well by scavenging some old mainboards for parts in tow this morning :):)

[iceman]

I was out mowing the lawn and doing the gardening too.. man the front lawn was wet.. mower tracks all over it now :)

[Cerberus]

yes, no more brown or yellow patches here, all fresh growth!
uggh, time to kick start the lawnmower, this is one chore i don't mind missing ;)

[jinxsta]

its looking good for some sky watching tonight after all the rain we have had got the scope on the new peir ready to go.:D

[Ian Robinson]

No clouds .... it will be nippy there tonight .... brrrrrrrrrrrrr .

Got the big jewie stick and gaff on the roofracks , the gear has been checked (8 oz snapper leads bottle has been topped up , the 9/0 XXOS strong Stainless Suicides have been sharped to a razer sharp edge and are needle point sharp , a couple or sliding snoodes on heavy mono traces have been made ready , the big alvey has been oiled and lubed) , I got my hands onto half a dozen medium sized squid .... ready to rock and roll .... a couple of hours and I'll out of here .

Was a very nice sun-set this avo .... just a few clouds on the western horizon , not much breeze and I spotted a few guys with trolleys on Stockton wall already while I doing my recy at the old tug dykes.

[Ian Robinson]

My lawn has been green and growing all summer , I nnever fertilise it or water it.

Due to get the kid down the road to give it a shearing again. I hate mowing the lawn , and he only charges $25.

Stars!! I see stars and a blackish sky. There's a bit of high cloud about though. Every plane that went by today seemed to be seeding clouds - after nearly two weeks of rain, why? It makes me wonder. The lawns mowed but the yards are still pretty wet though.

[Matty P]

I've got cloud, lots of it! :sadeyes:

After a run of almost 3 clear nights I am definitely not complaining. ;)

[Ric]

All clouds out my way as well.

Might be settling in for a while too.

Cheers

[Alchemy]

i know we need rain, i just havent taken a deep sky image for 3 weeks
no chance in sight here for another week,

i might have to join ian and go fishing.

[netwolf]

Clouds here too, there was a bit of cloud around at sunset so i am glad i decided not to setup.

[GrahamL]

hmmm..its not raining ..theres no clouds ..no storms lighting up the night sky like daylight..the moons not up till 10 pm..been waiting 6 months for this and one night isn't going to be enough so you guys have got to keep
the sketchy weather for at least another month or two..rain included for all those who need it :)

[Rodstar]

Well I got in about 2 hours of pea-soup observing before clouds entirely blanketed the sky last night. Seeing was dreadful. The turbulence was quite extraordinary....worst I have seen in a long time. At least I had a chance to get out there, though, after all of this rain.

[iceman]

Agree Rod - I got up at 2am and then 4am and both times the seeing was absolutely dreadful.

ah well. At least I got to put the telescope up and take it down again :lol:
