Dose not look good

Hi Guys.

Well the last two months I was lucky to get in a good nights imaging, and it looks like the next few weeks ahead are not going to be any better.

We are certainly coping some terrible weather of late, and I'm finding it difficult to keep myself busy.

How many times can one re-process those images.

Just thought I would have a winge

Leon

Yeah leon,
I had about an hour's worth of clear sky last night...missed it as I decided to eat after work - beginning to think an observatory (however rudimentary) is an imager's essential!!

Your not alone Doug. After a a couple tries setting up the new Synscan system outside in the garden, an observatory is starting to look very attractive.

Done them already Trevor
Made the bathroom cabinet, the new mailbox, repaired the daughters puter chair, stripped, sanded and reassembled a 50 YO table, made a case for the F5 refractor, weeded the vegie patch and rebuilt 2 puters. Just want to get back to the "important" stuff.

I know how you feel Leon so I decided to build a roll off while the clouds and rain are here. Here is the start of the wall frames.

Hey Bert that is the way to go mate, but I thought you ordered a Sky Pod some time ago, what you are doing is better though.

Thats good suggestion Trevor, might be a bit more water in the 'bidgee after the rain we've had.
As long as I don't catch my usual inedible Carp !
