Craig,
If it is any consolation, mate, I also bought a 12" GSO
recently.
I have had probably 2 good nights use of it worth mentioning
in about a month.
To say I am frustrated with the run of bad weather would be putting it
mildly.
Whenever I plan for weeks to capture a specific thing in the sky...
be it minor planet occultaion, galilean transit etc etc, Adelaide nearly
ALWAYS lets me down, but I also remember that when I wanted Adelaide
weather to help me get Mars at the 2005 night of closest approach,
she didn't let me down, and that was mid winter, just like now.
I don't think I can recall being so shut out from viewing for such long intervals.
Normally a typical winter is a week of bad weather followed by about a week of high pressure systems and good nights in a cycle.
regards,
Steve B.
