Jesus h Christ is that a Melbourne resident at the eyepiece??? Good gravy stuff me like a turkey I never thought we'd ever see telescopic observations happing in this city again!!
Nice to read your reports again. I see you had our typical fare in seeing but transparency looked quite good. Tonight I am off, nothing needs to be done so yer it will be cloudy. Webcams show nothing but high clouds and haze everywhere. Oh well. We MIGHT outlive the crap weather. TYPICAL Melbourne weather. Cloudzzz galorzz!!1!11!!
I went out to the airport at 10:00pm to collect my parents who enjoyed a spectacular sun-drenched week on the Gold Coast. The feedback - sun, chicks, awesome weather, vibe. In other words another planet compared to this cold cloud factory. Saw a bit of cloud/fog near the CBD but eventually it disappeared. I noticed the cold when I was doing a bit of plane spotting before the folk's flight arrived. Pretty much froze my gonads off.
btw, are you as shocked as I am, that objects we've last seen rising 1am are now the evening main course??? Living proof that our climate needs a tune-up.
ANyway, great report once again, I'm off to clean the now opaque dust of my telescopes.
