I was a bit stunned the other night as well. Clear all day, practically no cloud at sunset, went outside to do a final check before opening the observatory, the entire sky was overcast - hhummppph?

Thanks, Greg. The weather here continues to be fractious and unpredictable.

Hi, Steve. Various auguries suggest there is a small chance of colour tonight, but the backup plan is to make a ladder for the lorikeet.
