There's a calculated 1 in 99859374953246987638795638795632986 53294876349877834296593875697832562 3490875349287563948756987 chance of clouds clearing this evening.

I'm looking forward to it. OMG - it'll be 400x in the C8! That will be a challenge with the planets low to the W and E!
In my experience with Melbourne seeing, you'll be lucky to get half that power.
