Canberra forecast for tomorrow:
Thursday 9 August

Partly cloudy. Isolated showers, mainly about the Brindabella Ranges, falling as snow above 800 metres. Winds westerly 25 to 40 km/h turning southwesterly 35 to 55 km/h in the afternoon. Overnight temperatures falling to between zero and 3 with daytime temperatures reaching between 5 and 11.

And in the spare room I find a brand new 16" GSO dob that my wife bought me as a late Christmas present!! :eyepop:

I guess we will have snow/hail/sleet for a while now!!!! :sadeyes:

The weather in Queensland has been beautiful this last week ... lovely clear skies.

Except for that burning off and resultant smoke haze. Bad council! Bad council!

Enjoy that 16-incher!

Yes she is. However, this baby is probably heavier than my three sons combined! :)

Yeah I am sure I will name it when I think of something. I used to have budgies called "Pavo" and "Aquila" - easier transporting astro names to non-astro things than to find an appropriate name for an 80kg beast of a scope. :)

You were right Grant.

We got the hail and sleet part yesterday afternoon. :lol:

Cheers
