I asked my wife to take a pic of the back yard at 1.01pm today to check just how long the shadows were at solar noon. They were disappointingly short. At least, however, there were shadows at all where my observing pad is. I think I'll take the best of both worlds on Saturday and mark out 3 hours before solar noon, exactly solar noon, and 3 hours after.
No doubt I've cursed all Sydney siders for the weekend now, and I would like to apologise in advance for any cloudy skies over Sydney for this coming Saturday and Sunday!
