how many times...

G'day all,

im getting abit sick of the weather lately. you go out setup your equipment expecting a good night of imaging/observing, everything all balanced, polar aligned, laptop ready with plenty of cables to choke on takes a good hour or 2 for the setup, you walk back into the house to make yourself a nice cup of coffee walk back out and OUCH! clouds everywhere this has happen with me plenty of times.

I don't have an observatory so every bit of equipment, mount, scope is indoors.
Does anyone know a more reliable website to check the weather than Bureau of Meteorology?

Man if I had a dollar for each time I looked outside and it's fine and within 15 min of setting up, the cloud moves in, I could build myself an obervatory.

And can you please label your thread title a bit more infomatively! I didn't know what it was about so I came in to see.

And the opposite, look outside complete cloud cover - few beers, few more - going to bed look outside - clear as a bell can see Antares as a dble with naked eye
