Just cannot cop a break here in SE QLD - if it's not afternoon cumulus build up, it's smoke thanks to Noosa council burning off (I thought control burns were supposed to be winter/spring?). There would have been 3 usuable nights the last 7 days, but all no-shows thanks to the smoke!
Now the wind has changed direction slightly, but the cumulus is building...
I guess the scopes go in moth balls till June at this rate. We all know the monsoonal rains will hit us Jan/Feb, so may as well be a pessimist!
Last time out over a week ago I got exactly 3 subs of 5 mins in before it rolled in off the ocean.
Astronomy is just ONE of the many reasons I love winter
