Hi Dave.

Yeah...you don't often see me in the Terrestrial Photography forum.

Tiz most definitely a sign of the times.

To be honest, I think the weather (astronomically speaking) has actually been worse.

It's probably just an extreme case, this year. I know from speaking with guys like Dennis and (Gargoyle) Steve, it's been a fairly ordinary 4-6 months here in Queensland.

I've only been here about that long, so perhaps it's not fair to judge it based on having been here when the so-called 'Sunshine State' has been a little off its game.

The other thing is that late autumn and summer are not the best times for imaging/general astronomy in Queensland anyway. It's the wet time of year and there's also nothing but an endless procession of low pressure systems. Not good for astro, generally speaking.

Things should start to pick up in a couple of months...hopefully

Just gotta get that shift to high pressure systems dominating.

At least it's either warm or very mild....all the time!
