Is tonight the night?

Weather is clear, a little wind, no jetstream. What will happen tonight I wonder. Will I get that great image of one of the Jovians?

Work? Nearly finished. Satisfying but hard yakka! Mixed & Concreted 20 odd poles in today. Beats sitting home doing bugger-all though.

I'm not that far west of Adelaide as the crow flies, but it's blowing a gale here anyway. Makes me feel a bit better about hitting the hay early.

Good luck everybody & I bid you all good night!

Night John,

Dave, might wait the wind out or get up early for Jupiter again. The waiting game is on.
