This is the 3rd night in a row I've set the 12.5" up, WITH clear sky's, only to have it rained apon 2 minutes later....*sigh* I cant believe how fast those rain clouds come in!
I was going to set up tonight till I saw the clouds coming. Later I went out and it started to clear in some places, but it started raining while I was out there.
Oh well...I have a good imagination......I can just imagine me out there, lookin' threw the big guy at mars, or the trifid or lagoon nebula's or...........
If the withdrawal symptoms get too bad, place some astro pics at a distance and look at them with binocs or a finderscope. Works a treat. Don't even need tracking
Gee I hate rain & cloud & frost & snow & fog & full moon & heat haze & bushfire smoke & . . . .
For the past couple of days the mornings have been clear until 10 or 11am when the clouds come over and by late afternoon it's overcast again. I'm on two weeks holiday so I think that I will wake up early in the morning and do some observing.

That's the usual winter pattern here, when I was a fanatical skier we'd leave home in sunshine without a cloud in sight but by 12 it had usually clouded over.
Shakin' my fist at the rain god....
