I waited, cussed and ranted and screamed...but they remained. The cloud looked a little ominous coming south from Charlestown way so I sadly and scaredly made the decission to pack up...no sooner had I packed everything up when the clouds completely disipated and the sky was crystal clear ......not prepaired to be dissapointed again after another hours setup, I went home anyway

Fairdinkum...after narrowly missing rain after a predicted perfect sky last week and now this...I give up on Newie skies, without an observatory it is just too unpredictable and risky with a complex kit...I'm going back to Kurrir Kurri asap, this never happened out there

I hate Newcastle skies
Oh stop your whining and man up!!

It's no better in Sydney ya know - the clouds play tag with me all the time! The only diff is it only takes me 10 minutes to set up

My ex-wife now lives in Newcastle.
You are welcome to both of them.
But remember only one of them eventually improves.
