Yes, the curse is real...

Why?

At telescope factories around the world manufacturers put "moistions" inside the packaging to help preserve the scopes freshness and new scope smell.

Once opened at your home the moistions react with the atmosphere to cause at least cloud and usually rain. The number of moistions placed inside a scope are directly proportional to the cost of the scope...more expense more moistions...so the more you spend the longer and more likely the rain.

There must have been a lot of gear purchased recently in/around Melbourne to account for the big storms...
