Brissy tonight 21/3

Howdy all
Clear skies again in Brissy tonight. Just had a quick look at Orion. Moon is bright as but thankfully is hiding behind a tree at my place. Humidity seems to be rising and i predict clouds and rain by 01:00. Going out to have a detailed squiz later once it has moved. Oh well if you cant beat it join it.

Down the coast a little looks the same though there seem to be some clouds out to sea that are moving fairly fast, I'll have to flip a coin and see if it's worth trying for a planet or two.

I have just came back in. Broken cloud passing by every 5 or 10 mins and seeing milky with the moon. Called it a night and came back indoors for coffee and sandwich. Always tommorow.

Ditto for up here. I have noticed that as the cloud cover increases, the seeing improves. So I'm guessing the seeing is 10/10 about now.
Law of Astronomy:
#1 Seeing is inversely proportional to transparancy.
