I have been up to Mount stromlo every night nearly, since the 15th to view this comet. I got ONE good night! I suppose I should be grateful I got that..and I am I suppose.
But every day here in Canberra we have beautiful, crystal clear days with magnificent skies.
I get home, pack all my scopes, tripods and cameras in the car, drive up there , set up wait...........sun goes down....comet makes a slow appearance...and clouds just magically materialise out of nowhere and blanket the whole sky in 20 minutes....
Has anyone seen the little german kid throwing a hissy fit? This is how I feel every night the clouds cover this magnificent spectacle!
