I just ducked down to the shops before and looked up.......CLEAR :eek: :eek:

The shock almost killed me.

Too bad it's full moon, also too bad the dew is so heavy.

[DavidU]

Moon is ok, as I am testing a Sirius minus V filter.
Today it was blowing a gale freezing cold with hail storms
Now it's clear:lol:

[pgc hunter]

Conventional wisdom has it that seeing is good after rain and storms. Does that apply to locales dep within the roaring 40's, such as Melbourne?

[stephenb]

Thanks for that, David :lol:, your out with the scope and I'm without a scope for the first time in years, and it's clear in Melbourne tonight !!! Typical, just typical :doh:

Seriously, have a good night. I'll be sitting here with a glass of wine, by the fire watching the tellie.

[spacezebra]

Cheers Petra d.

Just came in from 2 hours of viewing. clear skies and no dew (slight breeze). Had to give up with the moon taking over. Still had a great time in and around Sagittarius and Scorpius. Look forward to next week when the moon "goes away"

Rod:lol::lol:

Well surprise surprise it's getting cloudy already :mad2: I guess last nite was this month's fill then.

Stupid sub-antarctic maritime (latin for Toilet) climate.

got all this nazi high cloud here in Melbourne. What else would one expect here under a forecast of "sunny" :mad2:

Maybe I'll have better luck in freaking Antarctica :mad2:

Alice Springs looks like the place to be atm, the nearest cloud is 2000km away :D Ahhh if only...

[DavidU]

Well it was clear:rolleyes:
Can we shift Melbourne north 800KM ?

[pgc hunter]

That would be nice. But better relocate the city to the Pilbara. Clear skies all year and no winter :party:

The climate here is insufferable. All this retarded Melbourne cloud is thickening right up :rolleyes: And the forecast for the next 7 days is the usual wall-to wall cold, rain and cloud :mad2:

We are undoubtably the England of the southern hemisphere, while Sydney seems to be the Meditteranian of the southern hemisphere this winter :rolleyes:
