Sigh..........who bought new gear in Brisbane

[Davros (Lauren)]

Early evening went out and had a look at clear skies. Spent the last two and a half hours modding a CCD camera. Went to take the dob out for a cool down. Clouds as far as i can see.......................bugger

[mrsnipey]

It's clear as far as I can see. Must be someone up your way.

[Screwdriverone (Chris)]

ummm, you might find someone called AlexN has received his EQ6 Pro.......finger pointing has officially started.

yer yer it's been uniformly overcast here for 2 months now. Everyone should be feeling sorry for Melbourne.

[monoxide]

cant remember the last time it was clear here...
with a new scope coming i cant see it clearing up for a long while

[renormalised (Carl)]

What we need is to manufacture of millions of tons of silica gel, so that it sucks up all this moisture!!!. We can deploy it judiciously around the place in areas where we're going to be observing from and hopefully it'll give us some clear skies for a change....regardless of equipment purchases!!!!

this friday man, this friday!!! Sydney and Brisbane will FINALLY suffer what we've been endurin' for months. Stuff 'em, It's Melbourne's and Adelaide's turn

[monoxide]

im determined though, was just out observing joop through the cloud.
aperture > clouds in this case
got a nice view, when the cloud thinned up a bit festoons and the grs were visible so i guess its not completely lost

[jjjnettie (Jeanette)]

Ummmm.....
I recieved 2 lenses for my camera yesterday and am expecting the macro zoom tomorrow.
I guess that means it will be raining this weekend.

Sorry.

[§AB]

it sure wil hehehehe

IT'S ABOUT TIME Brisbane and Sydney suffered!!!!! Enjoy our pain!!!!!!

If Sydney, Brisbane and Perth get a summer like last year (in other words..... no sunshine and below average temps) while we get plentyful sun and clear skies..... I'd be the happiest bloke in da world

here's Hopin' IT'S MELBOURNE'S TURN DAMNIT!!!!

AHaha

Yes, it's been very cloudy in Melb. It's about time karma came our way and the feng shui washed it all away up north.

Not really, seen the latest report, clearing up tomorrow and back to normal, just bloody cold, And with all the moisture we received it will be very foggy and dewy and cold, did I mention that it will be cold?.

[AlexN]

damn... foggy and dewy.. so much for clear skies for first light... oh well... I'll do what I can with what I've got.

[mrsnipey]

Lucky I just finished making my dew heater (had plenty of time with all these clouds).

I need one for my secondary mirror to prevent it from fogging up.

[jjjnettie (Jeanette)]

The old timers at the store today were predicting sub zero temps by the weekend.
I'd rather the cold than the heat though. At least you can rug up for it.

[AdrianF (Adrian)]

Its already sub zero in Roma -4 according to my thermometer at 6am yesterday.... more sensible today stayed inside.
