There's plenty of cloud here in Brisbane I'd be quite happy to send north...

Too late - it's here already. There was a beautiful clear patch for an hour or so this afternoon. Blue sky - I didn't recognise it!

AHEM! AHEM! Allan, I take cash, money orders and direct deposits

Just observed Lemmon for the past 15 minutes. Looks like I will get some more time in a little while too. It sure is a VERY evident and recognisable comet.

The moon looks fantastic through these binos too. VERY clear, superb optics.

Col, I just came back inside been out a while observing.

Orion is absolutely magnificent! M42 is as clear as a bell... clean skies!

Lemmon looks incredible - much more appealing to look at than Halleys in many ways.

You could say it's my fault...

I bought my first telescope about 5 weeks ago, well it's never not been cloudy.

I got home tonight, it was looking fairly good, got set up then it rolled in and started raining.

Prior to me getting my scope it hadn't rained in two months.
