I dont care if its cold, hot, or fighting off the due, I will be out there having ago. But when the cloud cover is 100% for almost two months then there is no hope
(with odd hour here and there, which I have used).
All I hope for is clear skies the weather apart from that can be anything..... Looking out the window now tonight could be a good night if it stays like it is.....

It certainly weeds out the Fair Weather Astronomers from the Die Hard ones. I have noticed a good deal of kit up for sale by disgruntled fair weather QLD astronomers - again, a plus for the rest  |
