Of course, if I spent a not insignificant amount more and made it (reliably, ie. its about a 70km drive away if anything goes wrong) fully remote, via the internet and setup my all sky camera, I could of course take advantage of many of the shorter clear periods that do occur up there, even in this current La Nina affected pattern in the SE of Oz...maybe necessity is the mother of invention (or makes one a thrill seeker and prepared to actually pose the question to the wife ), or something like that...

Sigh....I fear I will just keep complaining about it, hoping that will make me feel better... until an El Nino occurs and every night is clear again...

Hmmm, your forecast is looking ok so keeping fingers crossed for Thursday. I'm sure that the time will come when the full automation will happen and you will be able to enjoy the benefits of remote imaging. In the meantime, Eagleview has been a great project and I for one have been enjoying all of the pics.
