Aghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

The title is how I am feeling about our weather right now the day starts out a little cloudy and clears to a cloudless sky with a few clouds on the horizon.

So I think might be good for some celestial delights tonight then when the sky starts to dim you blink and it is overcast completely then the same thing repeats itself this has been the pattern for the last week. Mother nature is such a tease.

I can totally relate to that. Had the same feeling last night. I set-up for a very anticipated first light with my new cam under clearish skies, focused, guiding, 3..2...1... clouds! And it looks like they're here to stay until well into next week. I kept one 5s sub (focus sub). I'm going to frame it as it looks like it's the only one I'm going to get for a little while.

Hahaha if it helps, it happened last night in Vic too! I live near the city, so it's a semi-permanent twilight for me, so close to the city lights... I came to stay with my mum deep in the suburbs, in the hopes that there would be glorious clear skies, et voila... cloud city!! Since I'm heading home tonight, it will be glorious clear skies for weeks to come... Glad to hear I'm not the only frustrated one

Hi Supernova,

It's not due to me as I haven't recieved my new gear yet, next week is when the really bad stuff kicks in and am happy to take the blame then LOL.

Cheers

Anthony
