Make the most of it Ken, it can't last.

Maybe you should bottle it and post it up to us poor unfortunates.

Cheers

Yeah, terrific sky, but I've been on CFA training most days and nights and I'm too knackered to set up, so in a way, all that sky is going to waste!

Sorry Houghy.

Here, this may cheer you up. We may get an afternoon shower this afternoon. Ignore the forecast for the other days

See, we get crappy sky occasionally too.

I'll swap your 350D for an excellent dust cover.

I've got a fantastic Tea-towel here for that purpose

But how will I create a time lapse of dust growing with a dust cover?

First proper clear night in a while - Woohoo!

I was out watching last night, but there was still clouds drifting around. I couldn't stay on any one object for more than a few minutes. But not tonight. You've gotta love that first clear one after a cloudy stretch. I was so buzzed.

You could just move to Melbourne, plus you'd get year-round cold to boot
