No joy naked-eye viewing in Melbourne, for me. Cloud has cleared but still bushfire smoke. However, not really bad directly overhead where ol' Sol is at present - but that may be wishful thinking.
Tried for 20 minutes - cannot spot it. Guess who forgot to bring his binoculars into work today - Duh!!
But we make the final go/nogo decision at 4pm - a group from work with help from Google Earth have decided where to setup from 8pm this evening. I know I won't see it again if I sit in my lounge room so I'm going.
