For Melbournians wanting clear sky

Anyone in Melbourne wanting clear sky tonight (Wednesday) for Comet viewing, the sky up here is clear as a bell!

Head west from Melbourne. You don't necessarily have to drive all the way to Snake Valley/Ballarat. Just head west for a bit.

The sky is beautiful. The comet looks good up this way from about 9:30 - 10pm.

Tomorrow night (Thursday) is forecast to be clear as well.
Friday night is possible late shower.

Current weather map:
1. Infrared
2. visible

Leon, I'll probably park out in the dark near the road into Snake Valley and see who stops to have a look thru the knockies

I agree, every time Whilst on my way to Snake Valley the sky just gets darker and darker the further west you go.
But Snake Valley is the ultimate darkness!!

Perhaps it's a black hole?
