I'm Sick Of
Carrying out all the gear while it's clear, just for it to cloud over after an alignment.
Tonight, I got it out there, aligned on one star and the second was under cloud. I waited 2 hours and then carried it all back in.
THEN IT CLEARED!!!
Talk about grumpy old men ........ I know why we're grumpy ....

Yep, here in Brisbane, practically nearly all of this year has been a write off to view anything. It's very frustrating from a beginners point of view as well, so much I want to learn and see and then I get a high from seeing some amazing stuff, then I can't do any more for weeks. It has taught me levels of patients and tolerance I never knew I had.

Robin you may already know this site but thought I'd mention it.
I use 7timer (APanel) and find it's quite accurate in forecasting cloud conditions.
I use it on my own site as a quick reference.
