Good luck with your clear skies Pete. I'm envious.

The other night our sky in Launceston was crystal clear. Rubbing my hands together I thought "you beauty" and off I went lugging my dob outside. Got it out there early and went back inside and waited for it to get dark. Maps in one hand, a list of targets in the other, eyepiece box outside ready to go and "you gotta be kidding me"? It had clouded over and I could only see one or two stars. To say I was filthy is an understatement.

The sky doesn't look that great here today either and we are expecting rain for the next couple of days. I'll get out sooner or later. It won't beat me.
