Will this jet stream ever stop

[[1ponders]]

I'm starting to go stir crazy again. When is the jet stream going to settle down for a decent nights viewing again. Sheesh.

[iceman]

Tell me about it.. majorly annoyed by it, even more so since the weather has been clear for the majority of nights.

[ving]

trying to squeeze off some shots for the comp is getting hard too... the seeing just gets worse every time i head out and so my images slide downhill too :(

group hug! {{{}}}

Thats fine for the next month while I am scopeless.....hehehehe...sorry

[Vermin]

What you talkn' 'bout?

Looks fine to me. :)

Pity about the 100% cloud cover though.

[matt]

It will clear the moment I walk in from the back yard from waiting to star test my SCT's collimation and check the impact of my new mirror cooling mod on my newt.:(

I haven't even bought a new eyepiece or shiny gadget. It's not fair!

I hope bird gets here soon and brings some stable atmosphere with him. The astronomy gods seem to like him.

[BobsYourUncle]

Tell me about it :doh:it's been like that for ages now. Stars were twinkling like crazy the other night.

[h0ughy]

cant notice it for cloud

[acropolite]

We had it down here for months over summer, now it's your turn... :P

[EzyStyles]

is it me or is the jet stream not hitting melb? :D :D

[Robert_T]

glad its not my imagination, oh well guess it just makes the good nights when they come all that sweeter :D

Maybe it will clear by 01:00 :sad:

It has been like that for ages. Where are you getting the jetstream info from?

Perth Weather (http://www.perthwesternaustralia.net/perth_weather_main.html)

There's a bunch of weather resources (including jetstream maps) on this IceInSpace weather page (http://www.iceinspace.com.au/?weather).

With no hope of high resolution Jupiter imaging due to the unstable seeing, last night I dragged out the 4" Vixen refractor and mounted it side by side with my newish WO 80mm ED triplet and boy, was it simply stunning to look at open clusters and doubles again through decent refractors.

The views were very pleasing and soon it was 4:00am - crikey, I'll be tired all day today!

Cheers

Maybe, just maybe, the seeing will be better tonight.. don't know if i'm far enough south.

At least you melbourne guys shoudl be in for somethign better.

[cjmarsh81]

Thanks guys. I have never opened the resources tab before.

[stinky]

Been full on here - not so much twinkling but stars actually dissappearing if not carrying on like a set of celestial traffic lights. Guess it will clear out for the full moon :)

[swannies1983]

Just wondering where exactly do you guys get the jet stream data from? A link would be nice :)

Thanks

:hi: and :welcome: swannies

There are weather links in the Resources page. See the link in the side bar at the top of the page

Have a look at Msg #16 in this thread for links.
