Get ready for a shocking summer, last year was dead untill well after january.

[multiweb]

+1 this long week-end in Sydney was as wet as it gets. Unreal. :sadeyes: That weather is meant to be over Melbourne, not Sydney ;)

[Alchemy]

We have had dodgy weather for months and months in Melbourne, as observed by the complete lack of images from melbournites.
Don't you dare send back that weather to us...... Unless the moon is up.

[noswonky]

It was clear when the moon was full.

[icytailmark]

yeah it was clear when the moon was full but now that its getting close to new moon it doesnt stop raining grrrrrrrrrr

[Bassnut]

Hence narrowband :lol: :thumbsup:

[pgc hunter]

We had 4 solid months of it, so we figured it's time to share the love :lol:

[mithrandir]

Does narrowband work through cloud?

Isn't it time to switch to radio astronomy?

[DavidU]

Mark, a WEEK ? are you kidding LOL, come to Melb and be without clear skys for months MONTHS !!! I kid you not:lol:

[Octane]

It's been atrocious in Canberra, too.

I was just thinking tonight that it's been almost two months since my last image. This is balls.

Well fellas it isnt any better in the north either tells ya's ... Im OVER :rain:. Imagine how 'issed orf 'Ide be IF I had my observatory built and I was actually missing out !!!!!

The people we bought this property off told us that once every few years we wake up to lakeviews when it rains. :lol: This is our 4th lakeview in less than 9 months !!!!!!!

Haven't had the scope out in months as a result of weather, work and lack of motivation :( but at least there's this site as well as the NightSkiesNetwork (http://www.nightskiesnetwork.com/) to get a fix. :)

wooohooo the skies have cleared in sydney but for how long?

[Liz]

This has been the WORSE year for many years, for us up north.:sadeyes: Constant cloud, we've had to cancel quite a few of our viewing nights and public nights.
It seems to have been bad right up the east coast of Aus, and south.
La Nina is now here, and rain, rain, rain. :rain:
Make the most of any clear bits of sky!!
We have our viewing night this Saturday (anybody welcome to join us waaay up north) .... clear at moment, but incoming rain for the weekend. :mad2:
Hope it stays clear tonight for awhile, I wanna catch Comet Hartley 2. ;)

[Suzy]

Crikey! :eyepop: That's a lot of water.
I think we all need a nice holiday in the sun (I forget what it looks like). far away from eastern shores The Caribbean anyone?! :thumbsup:

[GrahamL]

That a fair bit of water jeff, we got 9 inches up on the hill over the weekend mostly sunday night , last week was wet enough , and bits of the week before, and this is suposed to be a dry time of year :thumbsup:
