Aaarghhh!

This new moon we have had a run of lovely sunny days down here in Colac, and each evening promises to be nice and clear, and 4 nights so far I have set up, collimated, aligned the Argo, done a couple of obs and then bam! clouds. Next morning dawns lovely and clear and we do it all again.
Luckily I have had 2 nights when I made some decnt obs, last night knocked over about 20 new objects, but tonight it happened again. After setup, had a look at Comet Siding Spring and did one object in Phoenix (NGC7689), looked up after writing a note on 7689 and it was clouded over solid.
