Don't blink!

QLD Astronomers, don't blink, but the night is actually pretty clear! Well, on the Sunshine Coast at least, with GOOD transparency.

No, this is not a late April Fool's prank, and yes, having said this, the cloud generator will go into overdrive, but I am ACTUALLY considering setting up (with my new GP-D2 mount)

Make the best of it guys and gals!

Out walking the dog it looked OK at first - for a Sydney sky. As the eyes acclimatised you could see more and more high cloud.

How do I get CASA to declare Castle Hill a no fly zone? We're getting more planes than mozzies.

I got a couple of hours of imaging in.
But was dodging clouds for a while there.
