SEQ, are you ready for a clear night?

OMG! 'Bout damned time!

Batteries charged, camera and scope ready... BRING IT ON!

Too right. I will be heading out as well.

Yep ...should be alright.
Scope's outside cooling down ....looking over to the east...there's a cloud band on the horizon .... fingers crossed.

Flash ..!!

Yeah, see that - will do the best until it comes over.

Better than nothing!

Good luck Lewis, Stu and Colin,

Make the most of it before the moon washes out the sky.

Have fun.

Cheers

Cloud.

Back to square one.

Will check again in a few hours, but the BOM radar is not looking great.

I need an alt-az so I can at least do some visual.

What looked to be a promising evening was cut short by conditions. I'd say approx 75% cover cover by 8:30pm and 100% by 9pm. I am grateful for the hour of observing I got in before packing up. Fingers crossed for tonight.
