what....no cloud?

I am looking out the window at work and can see nothing but blue sky....has someone forgotten to turn on Brisbane's cloud machine??

Dare I even imagine that I will be removing the cobwebs (and maybe even the lens cap!) from the scope?

I live in hope.

It started to appear just about when I finished setting up, so I'll take some of the blame as well.

Don't worry guys the seeing was truly appalling tonight

It was nice to be out there though.

How did the tripod work out Rick? Is it going to be stable enough?

Seems fine so far, Paul. Certainly good enough for me to experiment with the new mount and camera. Thanks again for the loan!
