I'm sorry fellow Melbornians.... the current not-good star gazing weather is my fault.
I bought a new scope.... therefore, weather will be bad for at LEAST a week.
I'm sure you are all aware of the new-scope-poor-weather-paradox.
It will, of course, clear up enough on the first day I am not available to star gaze... so watch for Thursday night when I have a meeting at the Hockey club... and it will likely be good.
Geoff.
