Wanted: clear skies to try out new telescope.

Patience has worn out after entering third week of rain
since purchase.

Will consider all offers including trading family dog, kids and wife
(in that order) :D

Hey some think that Perth has fine weather all the time.

5 days of cloudy wet weather partially fined up friday night but a full moon was shining and then the clouds rolled in, fine but cloudy all day Saturday and Sunday, maybe clear skies Monday, Tuesday but I'm at work, then showers for the rest of the week.

Yes the weather gods have fun with us amatuer astronomers.

Hi Trev,

I reckon we got your low pressure system through today but it
wasn't as destructive here.
Sunset was clear tonight...promising...Then low fast cloud rolled in
from the south just as I was contemplating setting up the new Dob.
Raining again now.
Argggghh!

Jen you'll have to live a life of sobriety to be a decent observer although you could take the bottle of red to the scope with you keeps your insides warm while observing and get a good cover for your scope that way if you get pie eyed you don't have to worry about putting your scope away until the next day.

Cheers
