Did the BOM get it wrong about predicting a hot dry summer ( El Niño ) in most parts of Australia for the 2023 /2024 season ?
So far on the eastern part of the continent we’ve had higher than average rainfalls since the end of October last year , severe flooding in northern NSW and SE Queensland and endless cloudy days and nights.
To date this has been the longest period of endless cloudy nights ( 29th October 2023 to 3rd January 2024 ) mid to south east coast of NSW since I started the hobby back in 2017 and it ain’t over yet. Latest predictions are that this trend will continue until mid March.
Hopefully we might score just one clear night between now and then ?

I suppose a good time to do some Astro house keeping ( my Dome has never been cleaned ( Kartcher pressure cleaner ) since I installed it nearly 3 years ago , sorry spiders but you will have to find another home )
Also The 12” Goto dob is filthy so a clean and service is well over due too.

Comments , Rants , Whinging , frustration all welcome

Cheers
